“No other medium is as magical and enjoyable as watercolor.”

So says artist and creator Michael Reardon. In Watercolor Techniques: Painting Light and Color in Landscapes and Cityscapes, Reardon covers it all, from answers to beginners’ most vexing problems (What’s the proper ratio of pigment and water? How do I lay down an even wash? Why do my paintings look so washed out?) to understanding the trifecta of point of view, value, and color. He shows the right way to paint whites that sparkle and shadows that glow and the right way to conjure the atmosphere of a particular place and time. Painters of all skill levels will see–and feel–the difference in their work.

  • Packed with expert advice for infusing scenes with light and color
  • Includes special tips and techniques for painting architectural subjects
  • Illustrated with inspiring paintings of scenes from around the world
  • 8 start-to-finish demonstrations show key concepts in action

“Light, as it glances off a facade, glimmers off the water or gleams off polished marble, is all the time inspiring. Color, with its infinite array of hues, is all the time impossible to resist. Looking for how one can cause them to harmonize and tell a story can last an entire life.”
