Step by step, artists are led through the process of planning, preparing and applying glazes, covering: * Composition and the use of exaggeration, elimination, repetition and contrast * 30 easy and unconventional methods for producing watercolor images * 3 basic steps to developing a painting: saving whites, creating form and lighting up focal areas * 5 complete demonstrations These new techniques will not only improve each artist's ability, they will also make the act of painting a more fulfilling and liberating experience.
