Product Description
Product Description
From sketches through to final paintings, Geoff Kersey shows how to incorporate linear and arial perspective, how to create depth and distance with light and shade, and how to breath a sense of realism into a picture. Flat, dull landscapes can be changed into vibrant scenes full of life with sunlight and shadows; distance can be enhanced by placing warm colours in the foreground and cool colours in the background; foreground detail and soft background images can lead your eye into a picture. There are many more tricks which can be used to create an illusion of a three dimensional scene. Fields, trees, roads, rivers, bridges, buildings, harbours--whatever the subject, you will need to learn about perspective, depth and distance.

As with all Geoff's books, this is simple to follow and incredibly well put together. Having been on Geoff's workshops, this is the next best thing to actually have him in the room with you guiding you along. Well worth the money!

As with all Geoff Kersey's books this is an invaluable reference to all beginner, and perhaps more experienced, watercolour artists. Perspective is something that is difficult to explain but this book shows by example how to work this out. Highly recommended.
