Fashion illustrator Veronica Ballart Lilja proves there's more to watercolour with a fresh and creative approach to this classic art form.
Are you bored of painting tasteful landscapes, light seascapes and delicate still-lifes? Or are you labouring under the misconception that that is simply all watercolour is good for? Maybe you're so bored of looking at watercolour paintings that you've never even tried it!
Whether you're at the beginning of your artistic journey, stuck in a rut and in desperate need of some inspiration, or simply looking to improve your skills with watercolour, this book is sure to awaken your creativity.
Stimulate your artistic minds and open your paint boxes to a whole new realm of possibility, using things like bleach, salt, and combsโyes, the thing you'd ordinarily use to brush your hair withโto create exciting results.
Professional fashion illustrator Veronica Ballart Lilja shares a wealth of new techniques based on her years of working with the medium that will open up watercolour for beginners and encourage experts to stray from their more traditional methods.
Jam-packed with fresh ideas, adventurous tips and techniques, detailed theory and engaging exercises, this book allows you to develop and practise your skills in a free and expressive way.
