This book takes you beyond the traditional boundaries of muted,
delicate and translucent watercolour to create rich, vivid images,
not only with watercolour on paper, but with other media and
materials, while still retaining a watery feel and enhancing and
expanding the possible textural effects. The projects showcase a
mix of water media in familiar and unconventional, experimental
ways. These include paint, ink, coloured pencils and fabric dye,
with texture mediums forming part of the repertoire. While
watercolour paper is used a fair amount, canvases, board and
drafting paper or vellum are also incorporated. Some really simple,
structured techniques have been covered, which can be followed step
by step to achieve a very similar outcome and are suitable for
crafty projects. Readers are also encouraged to use the more
spontaneous and less controlled techniques (illustrated step by
step), to further their own creative path, develop a sense of
adventure, learn to take risks and work with their 'happy
accidents'. There are lots of things one can do with unsuccessful
work and the author has included ideas for incorporating discarded
endeavours into new art work. Filled with fabulous ideas for both
artists and crafters, even the absolute beginner will be able to
play and experiment along with Water marks.
