Enjoy a vicarious walk with the author along the Camino Frances.
500miles across Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela from St.
Jean Pied de Port nestled in the foothills of the French Pyrenees.
The book is a record of his journey, essentially in sketches; all
made insitu as he walked, 147 of them, with anecdotes from along
the Way, it's aches and pains, blisters, laughter and pathos. He
met wonderful people, passed through historic villages, admired
ancient churches, enjoyed some splendid Cities, marvelled at
magnificent Cathedrals, and revelled in all too brief friendships
as he passed along the moving community that is the Way. This book
will be enjoyed by armchair travellers, those who plan to walk the
Camino, those who have walked the Camino, those who dream of, but
know they may not, or never will, and those who love Spain.
The book is about generating architectural watercolor rendering
using step-by-step processes from obtaining the watercolor textures
through searching the Internet to digitally assembling projects in
Photoshop and Google SketchUp. The book has seven chapters, with
each illustrating one or two style techniques to achieve different
renderings, from simple exterior elevations to complex interior
perspectives. This book is structured with one intention: to
familiarize readers with the rendering process pattern. Words and
phrases in the manual are intentionally repeated across sections
and topics. Readers will encounter the same sentences and
instructions again and again across different chapters. Therefore,
the book will train readers to adopt the repetitive process and
structure to make learning easy and effective.
Judy H. Taylor is an old woman who believed she could not paint.
One day life presented her with a new viewpoint. These past 30
years she has been sharing tips on how to paint using watercolors
with her grandchildren and friends. Students have been asking: What
do you mean you had to learn to "see" before you could paint? How
can you enlarge a small drawing and not use math to figure out
where things go? What are lift-able and what are staining paints?
How does one know the difference? How do you know what a color will
look like when you mix two different colors together? When
composing a picture does it make any difference where things are
located in the painting? What is the Golden Ratio or Divine
Proportion? How long has it been used? These and other questions
will be answered in Creative Art for Generations. Maybe this book
is just what you are looking for - to get started.
