A comprehensive workshop approach presented by a master watercolorist, this guide features 11 step-by-step demonstrations filled with valuable methods and techniques for achieving striking on-site watercolor compositions. Beautiful examples and locations -- including the Greek island of Santorini, a desert oasis, and a Midwest farmhouse -- provide a wealth of inspiration as author and artist Tom Hill demonstrates how to paint intelligently, selectively edit a scene, and more. Painting Watercolors on Location shows developing artists not only how to acquire better understanding and techniques for painting on location but also how to incorporate these helpful practices into their everyday routines. Suitable for art students and artists at the intermediate level and up, these pointers include suggestions for choosing the correct on-site equipment, rendering accurate drawings, selecting and mixing colors, forming textures, and other methods for creating exciting and expressive watercolor paintings.
