Book Description
Ever wonder why landscape painting seems to be so complicated? So overburdened with techniques and "tricks" that you can't see the forest for the trees? Well, it doesn't have to be! Artist Roland Roycraft shows you how just a few amazingly easy techniques - masking, color pouring, wiping out color and spattering - can create dramatic, atmospheric landscapes and soft, impressionistic flowers full of light.
Roycraft will guide you through a simplified system of composition, color application and self-evaluation that will have you producing better, brighter nature scenes than ever before. Anyone can learn these fun and easy methods! He'll also help you troubleshoot possible problems before they happen, take advantage of the accidents that do and ensure that each time you put your brush to paper, you'll produce a piece of art welcome on anyone's wall.

A power tool for watercolorists,
By
This review is from: Fill Your Watercolors with Nature’s Light (Hardcover)
Having read "enough" art technique books, I have learned that until one gets "down and dirty" trying out what is discussed in the book, then one does not actually spend the money wisely (on the book).The same for this book. Beautiful artwork by the author. Did I say beautiful? No, BREATHTAKING, rather. However, to be able to generate beautiful artworks, the readers will need the following: - An ability to SEE (light, dark, positive and negative space) - Follow instructions from the book (which is PROBABLY the easy part, since it is rather well-written) - A decent craftsmanship to finesse the final painting after the "mask and pour paints" phase of the process. Briefly, I would think this is a power tool for watercolorists. How great the final products turn out to be will depend on the aforementioned factors. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I love these books by Roycraft. If you love painting landscape or natural subjects, you cannot go wrong reading this book. Roycraft's techniques look simple (a lot of splashing going on) but they are controlled and well thought out. If you love floral painting you should not miss his examples here of a peony and an iris. JUST Breathtaking. I picked up so many ideas from this book. Not only are Roycraft's paintings beautiful to see, he knows how to communicate his techniques incredibly well. I'm glad I found this watercolor artist's books.

This review is from: Fill Your Watercolors with Nature’s Light (Hardcover)
This is a nice book for soft landscapes. However, I don't use it nearly as much as I thought I would. Check out the authors style first, and if you really like it...then the book is for you. I use some techniques, but the subject matter is a little soft for me. I didn't stay interested enought to use the lessons, but I did read it through and apply concepts to some of my own work.
