Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color Paperback
Outstanding Book on
Perfecting the Use of Watercolors in Your Art
COLOR YOUR LIFE with
this Informative book:
Bring new energy to your sketches of urban scenes with this
fresh and simple approach to watercolor painting. Whether you’re an amateur
artist, drawer, doodler, or sketcher, watercolor is a versatile sketching
medium that’s perfect for people on the go—much like pen or pencil. Accomplished
designer and illustrator Felix Scheinberger offers a solid foundation in color
theory and countless lessons on all aspects of watercolor sketching
My review:
I’m an art lover from way back when. I love to draw, but I’m
no expert, but this is an excellent book to help one obtain their dreams in
art. This is a beautiful and colorful book with lots of sketches and
instructions about how to draw and paint with color. The author, Felix
Sheinberger, an illustrator, artist and designer discusses the fundamentals
like wet-on-wet, glazes and washer; Materials and supplies to bring on your
travels and little know tips and tricks, like painting when water isn’t handy
and seeking out inspiration. There is a great deal of discussion on the use of
colors. If you are into learning or refining or just interested in drawing or
painting with watercolors, this is the book for you. It is valuable and
informative and excellent book to keep on your artist bookshelf. This is a valuable guide that shows one how to
bring paintings and drawings to life with colorful, bold, yet accessible
painting methods.
Overall, I highly recommend this book without hesitation.
Some of the topics covered in depth are: the ins and outs of watercolors,
introducing color to sketches, first attempts with shadows and light,
discussing the effects and use of colors, tools to use, painting outdoors, and
tips and tricks used with watercolor. This is a fabulous book you will no doubt
be referring to more than once. “Vibrant watercolor paintings grace each page,
and light-hearted anecdotes (why do fish make great subjects to paint, you may
be wondering...) make this a lively guide to the medium. With an open mind and sketchbook,
you will be ready to capture the moments around you in luminous color with
confidence, creativity, and ease—no matter what your skill level may be.”
