subjects. Following the huge success of her previous book, Experimental
Flowers in Watercolour, she now explores ways to interpret landscape. Packed
with stunning examples of her colourful, expressive work, this book encourages
you to experiment with the same techniques in your own watercolour painting
to develop a personal style.
Techniques covered include combining water-based paint and ink with other
media such as gesso and collage to create dramatic effects; manipulating paint
with materials such as plastic wrap (clingfilm); tearing, layering and
reassembling paintings into watercolour collages; and developing textures and
marks made using fabrics and other found objects. Throughout the book Ann
offers her personal commentary on how her paintings were created, giving us a
unique insight into the mind of the artist.
Both practical and inspirational, this glorious book is the ideal companion for
watercolour painters who want to take their work a step further.
