More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Anyone can learn these simple and fun methods for producing outstanding watercolor landscapes and flowers. One of the reasons that Royland's first book (Fill Your Watercolors with Light & Color - over 65,000 copies sold) has been so popular is that his techniques make watercolor Fun and Successful for a great number of otherwise frustrated artists. Roland has a gift for simplifying the process of painting into a few readily understood steps. In this book, he expands the teaching of his pouring technique and goes into a bit of the underlying structure of a painting. He presents his unique way of teaching composition that (we are told) delights his workshop classes. He then presents his three-step process of painting a landscape - masking to preserve the lights, pouring on the atmosphere and spattering the textures. Next, he shows two great techniques for painting flowers, a subject that does not appear in his first book. Also included is a chapter of fun experimental techniques that readers are sure to enjoy and another chapter that answers some frequently asked questions.

Stunning results for watercolours, the techniques are difficult to perfect, but even I got some decent results on snow pictures.

Fabulous book at explaining the methods of pouring,

This review is from: Fill Your Watercolor with Natures Light: Features Masking, Pouring and Spattering Techniques (Paperback)
I loved this book and the author's other book, it is not for the beginner but it would give the beginner some ideas to aspire to and during the years I have had this book I have found it has helped me to understand how the light and colour can be reflected back to the viewer in such a free loose way. Its just fantastic how he can produce a picture from what looks a total mess from the start but on completion is just a masterpiece in full glowing colour.
My finest pictures have been developed using his methods and even though we stray off the artistic path sometimes to experiment, when I return to his methods I am back to creating something special again.
