Color still life is a popular theme among painters throughout history and across cultures. Among the various examination methods, watercolor still life is both convenient and effective in fully reflecting students' proficiency and qualities.
Watercolor painting combines characteristics of both watercolor and oil painting. It can absorb the moist, thin techniques of watercolor to convey lightness and fluidity, or employ the thick, textured methods of oil painting to achieve the richness and depth of oils.
Watercolor paint itself has strong covering power, is easily correctable, and is highly malleable. As an independent painting medium, watercolor has its own set of tools, materials, and techniques.
This book follows the teaching principle of progressing from simple to complex, from basic to advanced, and in a step-by-step manner, making it a valuable reference for art students and enthusiasts to accurately and successfully paint color still life.
