Features: Watercolor painting is a type of painting that involves adding a significant amount of white pigment to watercolor to enhance its coverage and expressiveness. Watercolor painting possesses the same expressive power as oil painting, capable of both highly summarizing and deeply depicting. It can not only be painted dry to achieve a polished, almost oil painting-like thick and realistic effect, but also be rendered with wet-on-wet techniques to express the lively and unrestrained atmosphere similar to watercolor. For beginners, there are no shortcuts to learning watercolor painting. The only way is to start with basic still-life drawing, meticulously following every step and detail, and learning from the fundamentals with diligence. During this process, having a comprehensive reference material and a standard textbook is crucial. This book is compiled based on this principle. Tailored for beginners, it starts from the most basic details, uses clear and easy-to-understand text, and includes numerous sample paintings for appreciation. The teaching approach aims to help readers gain insights after reading and develop a more objective understanding of their own artistic learning. This will enable them to better guide themselves in future pursuits and strive to capture the shining pearls on the crown of art.
