The Watercolourists Year DVD & Book Set
Spring
You can now capture the vibrant energy of spring in your paintings as you learn to use crisp, invigorating colours. While encouraging you to sketch nature at work and observe bulbs and buds bursting into life, Richard guides you through a number of colour mixing and dry brush techniques.
Summer
Summer is a time when colours are their most vibrant and you will learn to capture the essence and warmth of this season in your paintings. Create texture and atmosphere by following a number of watercolour techniques such as wet-into-wet and stippling, while observing the tranquil nature of the environment surrounding you.
Autumn
A pot, an onion and a trowel used to dig the earth are just a few subjects that Richard paints to create the real essence of autumn. He shows you how to portray the energy of a fast-flowing stream, and the tiredness of leaves on a tree, while all the time incorporating the rich, warm colours autumn is so famous for.
Winter
You will learn techniques such as blotting to create the smoke drifting from chimneys, and splattering to recreate the first snowflakes of winter. You will be able to create highlights and shadows that will make you gasp for icy breath, as you follow Richard’s step-by-step demonstrations.
