Dramatic Light Book
Light is the essence of everything we see, yet its intangible qualities make it uniquely challenging to paint. In life, light appears as reflection, glow and atmosphere. In painting, success hinges on your ability to capture light’s subtleties, whether bright and bold or soft and shadowed. Dramatic Light demystifies this difficult aspect of painting with 25 step by step demonstrations in both watercolour and oil that show you how to see and paint light in its many forms.
Lessons include:
Transparency - learn easy techniques for painting light as it passes through plastic, glass and water.
Translucence - capture the glow of backlit fabric, stained glass and sunlit flowers.
Light and reflection - examine light's relationship with reflection through demonstrations detailing gleaming scenes with people, Venetian canals and other waterscapes.
