Inspiring, concise, and practical, Mario Andres Robinson gives watercolorists of every skill level from beginner to advanced to professional encouraging advice and the musthave materials and techniques information they need to take their realistic painting to the next level.In the tradition of American painters such as Andrew Wyeth, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and John Singer Sargent, Mario Andres Robinson shows us how to create beautiful, timeless, classical watercolor paintings through the use of simple, yet sophisticated, contemporary techniques every watercolorist needs to know.Many artists find watercolor difficult to control and are often disappointed with the results. The water meanders across the surface of the paper and, given the proper nuance by the artists brush, it will reluctantly settle. Robinsons approach to the medium of watercolor is primarily traditional but his methods are unconventional.Robinson simplifies the process and teaches artists to layer colors from light to dark and to focus on the highlighted areas first. He teaches that the values should be established in the beginning stages of the painting, using a monochromatic blockin that allows you to glaze pure layers of color over a muted gray underpainting. The results produce more sophisticated, subtle paintings.Further, his live in the moment approach embraces watercolors unpredictability as part of the process, the end result being a painting with intensity, spontaneity, and beauty. Inspiring, concise, and practical, Mario Andres Robinson gives watercolorists of every skill level from beginner to advanced to professional encouraging advice and the musthave materials and techniques information they need to take their realistic painting to the next level, such as: Essential Studio Practices, Materials and Tools, Exploring Your Subject, The Importance of Drawing, Watercolor Techniques, Considering Value, Incorporating Color and Overcoming Watercolor Challenges.Richly illustrated, the book features over 100 of Robinsons luminous, emotive watercolors; works by past and present watercolor masters, including John James Audubon, Henry Casselli, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Michael Lowery, John Singer Sargent, and Stephen Scott Young; 8 indepth stepbystep painting demonstrations; color charts; product illustrations; and diagrams.
