Painting the Impressionist Watercolor Paintings
A New Book By Lee Boynton and Linda Gottlieb

Divided into four parts, Painting the Impressionist Watercolor Paintings offers a complete overview to the essentials of impressionism, its colorful evolution, and varied techniques. Part 1 introduces readers to the history of the art form, and explains how its methods apply to Watercolor Paintings. Part 2 details necessary materials and prepares readers for painting. Part 3 presents step-by-step lessons on how to render a wide range of light effects in still life, and through simple block exercises (which allow beginners to learn about color and light without the distractions of a complex subject). Part 4 takes readers beyond the basics and into more complex arenas such as textures and lighting conditions.
