It sometimes seems as though too many art books start with a long list of items you have to buy which will empty the store, and your bank account! How refreshing it is them to encounter a book like this where all you need to buy are three brushes and three tubes of watercolor paint. Interested? I certainly was! This is a new compendium volume which includes material from six earlier books in Search Press Take Three Colours series. If you have all or some of these titles this is not new material. I am new to this particular series so was intrigued, and soon discovered what a great way to work it is especially for beginners. Subjects covered are various types of landscape, seascapes and floral studies. Because this is a compendium of six books by five different artists not every author uses the same three colors or brushes, but there is considerable overlap if you want to try them all. Each book contains four projects and a short introduction listing what you need (not much) and showing examples of mixed colors and various useful tips. Every project consists of staged photographs with captions explaining how to progress until the painting is complete. A little is added in each stage, making it all very doable for beginners and anybody like me who is a wee bit rusty and wants to limber up a long unused artistic muscle. The finished painting is shown in whole page format so you can see it in greater detail, and there is a handy glossary of terms at the back. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book.
The idea of this series is a brilliant way of simplifying the painting process, either for the beginner or as a palate-cleanser for someone with more experience whos become a bit jaded.
With just three brushes and three colours, a team of Search Presss most successful authors demonstrate projects that show just how much you can do with an absolute minimum of equipment. With little to mess around with, the emphasis is on creativity and making the most of what you have. Theres no chance to over-complicate or get bogged down with an unwieldy palette or too many mixes.
This bind-up is fantastically good value and covers landscapes, seascapes and flowers, with more concentrated subjects such as lakes, rivers, hills and mountains thrown in. Larger books such as this can be difficult to handle, but this falls and stays open nicely and is a pleasure to use.
This collection of projects, tips and techniques is taken from the Take Three Colour series from Search Press and includes work by artists Julie King and Matthew Palmer, Geoff Kersey, Grahame Booth and Stephen Coates. Twenty-five projects are included that explore a variety of watercolour techniques and subjects using just three watercolours and three brushes. Projects include landscapes, seascapes, flowers, mountains, lakes and rivers and snow scenes.
