Book excerpt: "Every practicing artist, whether amateur or professional, knows that precise control of light and shade is essential to a mastery of their art, for light can create an atmosphere in a painting that is loud and dominant or one that is ethereal and utterly peaceful. Painting Light & Shade shows how the transparency of watercolor makes it the perfect medium for capturing the fleeting nature of light. Inside you'll find: step-by-step demonstrations that show you how to add dimension and energy to your work, and how to use light and shade to make your watercolors jump off the page; mini-demonstrations which explain specific techniques for capturing allusive or aramark areas of high and shade; and paintings by professional artists, each accompanied by a tonal sketch that shows you how to see and interpret tonal values, enabling you to incorporate them into your own paintings."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
