Product Description
Paintings with light have a hidden energy--an energy that captures the attention of the viewer. Painting Light and Shade shows artists how to precisely control light and shade in their paintings to achieve masterful results. Readers will learn how to observe light and shade, and will discover helpful techniques for painting light from the sky, capturing highlights, painting shadows, and capturing the changing nature through the day. Featured paintings from professional artists, each accompanied by a tonal sketch, are broken down into step-by-step demonstrations that focus on relevant techniques, allowing readers to learn while simultaneously creating paintings that shimmer with light.

more than light and shade January 4, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I really appreciate this book, it deserves %100 of the money I gave for it. First of all, it gives out very much about the key points of ligth and shade in the context of watercolour. Additionally, I liked the way the author show the techniques and the demonstrations. They are really detailed, may be one of the most detailed, I have ever seen in a watercolor book. Most of all, as someone, who is interested in wc books, which doesnt spend their first 40 pages with wc materials, keys for a good composition and other story issues and etc.. this book has at least an intermediate level.
