Watercolorist’s Essential Notebook, The: Keep Painting!

Recharge your creative spirit and rediscover the magic that is watercolour! Every watercolourist needs a creative kick in the pants now and then – to keep seeking inspiration when feeling uninspired, to keep going when a painting has stalled, to keep trying when a technique isnt easy to master…sometimes just to keep painting, period. When your artistic well has run dry, you must replenish it. Whether you have spent decades painting in watercolour or are just beginning, the tips and secrets shared by best-selling author and artist Gordon MacKenzie provide the perfect guide when the going gets tough. Get excited about watercolour again as he shows you how to: Find better approaches to a tired composition; Engage viewers more fully with colour, value and well-placed wee people; Reinvent a scene that outshines your reference photographs; Dramatize a landscape by focusing on the weather; Nurture your own growth by sharing what you know with others; You dont have to paint the way you paint now. You dont have to paint what you paint now. – Gordon MacKenzie
