SynopsisWater is the most used and least understood of all the elements we paint. But you can master it with E. John Robinson's help. The problem with water is that it not only moves, but it can take on so many forms from droplets of mist and fog to rain, snow, ice, and bodies of water in streams, lakes and oceans. However, the most important feature of water for an artist to understand is its reflective qualities and how you can use these to your advantage to liven up any painting. For instance, if a composition needs some balance of color from the sky to the foreground, then a well-placed puddle, or small body of water, will reflect and therefore bring color just where it is needed. Water can convey mood simply by its form. That is: water can suggest rushing, meandering, quiet and deep, muddy, confused, falling, stale, health-giving, destructive ... just about any of the moods we humans experience. The purpose of this book is to give you knowledge of water and its special properties, and to show you examples of the limitless ways it can be used in your paintings. E. John Robinson begins with the vital ingredients -- the materials and supplies best suited for painting water in a variety of mediums. Then he shows great examples of water's reflective qualities and how to include these. Next, he shows how to use water as a background or incidental in a composition -- wet ground, wet streets, moody skies, mud puddles and tidal pools. Finally, there is a series of chapters on major water subjects: creeks, lakes and ponds, rivers, waterfalls, bays and harbors and the surf. Each chapter is accompanied by a large size step-by-step project complete with color mixes. Book jacket., For both beginners and advanced painters, water can be one of the most popular but least understood of elements. In this instructive guide, author and artist E. John Robinson shows the secrets of painting water, its special properties, and the limitless ways it can be used in paintings of all mediums. Readers will discover how to use water to convey mood, to capture the effects of wet streets and mud puddles, and to portray fog, ice, and water's reflective qualities. They'll also learn how to paint creeks and lakes, rivers and waterfalls, harbours and the ocean, weaving sunlight and shadow into all their water scenes to create works that flow with life.

A lovely coffee table book
I love E John Robinson's paintings and aspire to paint in a similar way; however, his books do not give enough information regarding technique. Rather he spends lots of time discussing what inspires his paintings, themes, etc. I am more interested in learning, "How to paint." so this book, although beautiful, hasn't helped me. A collector would love itt.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
