Description
Capturing Light is a must for artists who wish to investigate the subtle qualities of light, with an emphasis on creating dramatic, imaginative landscapes.
Loving the fluidity of watercolours, Catherine has developed a painting technique by experimenting with and exploring modern watercolour pigments and the boundaries of the medium. The method uses lots of water on a sloping board, which Catherine calls "gravity painting", creating a natural way of working. This keeps colours luminous and mobile without any 'muddying'.
The book starts with an explanation of the technique, the materials and colours used, and the importance of capturing the essence of a landscape. There are numerous progressively challenging small exercises, demonstrations, and inspirational finished pictures illustrating the alluring effects of reflections, mists, and shadows, as well as showing the dramatic effects of different skies.
Developments of ideas for landscapes are introduced as the book progresses, along with nine projects exploring how to build up light-filled effects. Catherine's method will free up your painting style, embolden your colour choices, and show you how to create vibrant pictures full of dramatic light.
