Artist Ann Blockley is renowned for her innovative approach to traditional subjects. Following the huge success of her last book, Experimental Flowers in Watercolour, she now turns her hand to landscapes. Packed with stunning examples of her colourful, expressive work, this book shows how you can use the same techniques in your own watercolour painting to develop your personal style.
Techniques covered include combining paint with other media such as texture paste, gesso and salt to create dramatic effects; manipulating paint with materials such as clingfilm; distressing, layering and burning to create ragged edges; tearing and reassembling paintings into watercolour collages; stitching into images and adding woven paper.
Throughout the book Ann offers her personal commentary on how the paintings were created, giving us a unique insight into the mind of the artist.
