Ambitious art students, teachers, and hobbyists seeking more comprehensive instruction manuals than “Barron’s Art Guides”, will find what they’re looking for in this substantial book. After covering much of the same material contained in the easier “Art Guides”, the “All About Techniques” book illustrates and explains the fundamentals of art theory, then proceeds to step-by-step advice on how to create complete, highly finished artworks. All volumes are filled with full-color photos and art illustrations, the latter in some cases showing reproductions of well-known paintings. Emphasizing paints, materials, brushwork technique, color theory, and the various kinds of paper available to watercolor artists, this volume offers a comprehensive art course, starting with basics, including “tricks of the trade”, and ending with instruction on creating highly professional watercolors of a wide variety of different subjects.

Creating Textures in Watercolor art, Cathy Johnson, 1992 136 pages

Silken strands of hair. Water tumbling over rocks. Dazzling reflections in glass or metal. The textures of these elements make watercolour paintings come alive. They make the viewers feel as if they could “step right into” the scenes an artist has created. Here, expert Cathy Johnson shows them how to create these textures without creating a muddy mess. In her practical, step-by-step manner, she shows how to create 83 different textures, including fruits and vegetables, hair, glass, metal, fabric, flowers, fur, skin and various natural textures. Each of these textures is demonstrated by Johnson’s beautiful watercolour sketches, all with hints and tips to illustrate individual techniques. Artists can apply these techniques to their own work to create fabulous watercolour paintings that almost seem to “breathe.”

Learning to paint in Watercolor Barrons art guide book, 63 pages, 1997

In words, color photos, and art renditions this guide provides detailed explanations of art materials and how accomplished artists use them to achieve desired effects in the various media. The emphasis in this book is not on completing a finished watercolor, but on how to select and use the right materials for the right project, along with practical solutions to common artists’ problems. Topics are treated in the form of easy-to-follow step-by-step directions. This volume is a valuable reference source, both for the art classroom and for use by self-teaching hobbyists. This guide gives detailed instructions for using both tube and cake watercolors. It explains how they work best when employing both wet and dry paper techniques. There are also descriptions of different brushes, as well as the best ways to use the many related materials watercolor artists will need including inks and pencils, masking tape, sponges, protective sprays, razor blades, and other items. Students are shown how to achieve brushwork control and how to mix colors on paper in this often tricky medium.
