Master luminous watercolor techniques that make paintings glow with light
Controlling water-to-pigment ratios, building transparent layers, preserving white paper strategically, and managing edges where washes meet.
Step-by-step projects demonstrate how these traditional methods translate into contemporary paintings. You'll learn to handle the medium's inherent challenges, timing wet-into-wet applications, lifting color cleanly, creating depth through successive glazes, while developing confidence in letting watercolor behave as watercolor. Cronin's approach emphasizes working with the medium's fluid nature rather than fighting against it.
Finished paintings throughout the book illustrate what's possible when you master pure watercolor's unique properties. The 8.5x11 format provides clear detail in both demonstration photos and example work. For painters seeking that characteristic watercolor radiance, the kind that comes from light traveling through transparent pigment and bouncing back from white paper, this book maps out the technical foundation those effects require.
