Description
Take a workshop with watercolorist Ann Blockley, as she describes her key techniques and offers ideas and inspiration for painters to develop their very own interpretations. Blockley’s beautiful paintings show how an issue can veer in unexpected or Peculiar directions, and find out how to profit from these creative opportunities. She moves, with regularly challenging projects, from loose wildflower meadows, textured woodland, and rustic rambling walls to atmospheric or semi-abstract landscape corners, all rendered in her adventurous signature style. Peculiar techniques include combining water-based paint and ink with granulation medium for dramatic texture; drawing with twigs; the use of gesso and collage to create unique effects; and manipulating paint with materials such as plastic wrap (clingfilm). The book’s personal observation gives special insight into the mind of the artist and helps you explore, experiment, and unlock your own potential.
