How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself

Master spontaneous watercolor techniques for realistic landscapes

According to author Nita Engle, "there is no greater freedom than play." Using this breakthrough approach to watercolor, Engle shows the reader how to combine spontaneity and control to produce lively, realistic subjects. Step-by-step projects illustrate how to achieve textural effects by literally throwing, stamping, squirting, pouring, and spraying color onto the paper and manipulating it until a subject presents itself! These radical techniques will teach you to utilize pure abstraction to achieve the focused realism of landscape painting.
