What if you could create any colour you wanted, from a basic
palette of just 11 colours? That is what the art of colour mixing
is all about. And once you master it, you will be able to create a
broad range of all the colours you might need. Your options will be
limited only by your imagination. In this colour mixing book,
Isabelle Roelofs and Fabien Petillion first walk you step by step
through the basics of watercolour pigments, paper, and colour
mixing techniques. Using just 11 colours, you ll learn to bring
more variety to your primary colours, create basic colours (such as
Payne s Gray and Van Dyck Brown), and create your own secondary
colours. This approach works no matter what brand of paints you
use, as each of the 11 colours is identified by its universal
pigment colour (such as PY154). Once you re underway colour mixing,
you ll see how four artists interpret that basic palette to create
thematic colour palettes tailored to different subject matter, such
as flowers, landscapes, portraits, and animals. Finally, you ll
solidify your understanding of colour mixing by analysing five
watercolour paintings to see how the colour was achieved and how
the painting was developed, layer by layer, to achieve the final
result.
Watercolor Is for Everyone guides you through 21 intuitive,
process-based painting lessons that help you discover your own
unique artist-within while creating works of beauty you will
joyfully send out into the world to share. In this beautiful book,
artist Kateri Ewing, author of Look Closer, Draw Better, guides you
through a series of simple creative projects using a soulful,
meditative, and reflective process. Whether you're picking up a
paint brush for the first time or are an experienced artist, you'll
discover and deepen your creative potential through these
exercises, because everyone can make art. Each project results in
two art pieces: one to keep for yourself, and then another one,
such as a postcard or mini painting, to share with someone else or
send out into the world, to spread their color, creativity, and joy
in new places. With Watercolor Is for Everyone, you can learn how
to build a daily practice and how to set intentions and create,
even if you have just 10 minutes a day. The projects draw
inspiration from poetry, music, literature, and the natural world,
and invite experimentation with a variety of sources, from tarot
and oracle cards to rocks and feathers. You'll pursue your personal
passions through accessible projects as you build your artistic
skills, confidence, and creativity.
