Format:Hardcover
My watercolor instructor brought a copy of this book to class and I fell in love with it. If you want to achieve glowing, luminous color, and aren't getting the effect you're looking for in your watercolor paintings--you need this book. Mr Schink illustrates why leaving white in your painting won't give you a luminous effect, and also shows you how to use color and value to achieve that "glow" which is so characteristic of his work and Skip Lawrence's. If you're a colorist, you will find a lot to like about this book.

It's more that the typical 'technique' book
6 Sep 2000
Format:Hardcover
If you can only buy one water color text book, buy this one. For a change this painter focuses on teaching you more than just tecnical skills. He gives you excellent information on color history, and analysis of other watercolorists work. Deals with problems you may run into and provides great visual examples. Handles subjects like controlling pictoral space, simultaneous contrast, and well as composition and design. This is book to study, not just look at the pictures!

They don't get much better than this!
21 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
Christopher Schink is a terrific teacher and communicator in this lovely, and invaluable instruction book. Complete with many colorful examples and exercises, this world-class painter uses work from many different exceptional painters, along with a few of his own, to show how wonderfully expressive your own work can be by utilizing some of these techniques. He also shows and shares his deep understanding of what happens to color as it's mixed and layered, etc. And at the bottom of it all is the message that painting is about communication of ideas, and not simply a series of techniques! This core message is the most valuable of all.
