SynopsisRegarded by many as the most outstanding work of teacher and master watercolorist Ted Kautzky, this instructive classic shows beginners how to handle the medium. In simple, direct language, accompanied by purposeful illustrations, the book discusses color pigments, paper, and other supplies; washes, strokes, and the use of accessories for special effects. Important chapters follow on the characteristics and techniques of handling limited and full palettes. Interwoven throughout the text are valuable instructions on composition and related subjects. Described by artist Richard C. Moore as a classic book that "opened all kinds of doors" for him, this valuable guide for art students and teachers includes many demonstrations and challenging practice material. Book jacket.
