 | Watercolor Painting from Photographs by Ron Ranson
A major concern of many artists -- Dare I paint from photos? -- is positively resolved in this reassuring and refreshing approach to watercolor painting. Tackling a controversial subject, this book shows how, with imagination and skill, working from photos lets the artist paint fresh and original watercolors. By interpreting, not copying, photos, the book teaches how to use pictures for reference only in composing a painting, making tonal sketches, and mixing paints to match nature's palette. Projects show landscape, still life, and figure paintings with the photos that inspired them. AUTHOR: Ron Ranson
