Creating Textures in Pen&Ink with Watercolor

Fülszöveg

Claudia Nice shows you how to turn ink and watercolors into the coarse-barked trunk of an oak, or the burnished smoothness of brass, or the verdant velvet of moss. Or any of many other things. She shows you how to use dots, fine Hnes, brushstrokes, black & white, color—a mixture of mediums and techniques—to suggest:
• glass • enamelware
• cast iron • rainbows
• adobe and brick • wood grain
• sunrise and sunset • distant trees
• driftwood • eggs and onions
• leaf textures • animal hair
• basketry • and dozens of other textures!
• surf and ocean waves
You'll learn how to use materials, from technical pens to paint brushes, colored inks to liquid acrylics. You'll discover ways to blot, spatter, stamp and otherwise alter and combine ink and watercolor for exciting texturing effects.
