Breaking the Rules of Watercolor

Demonstrates a technique developed by Burt Silverman, which utilizes unorthodox painting methods to expand the command of watercolour painting. The author gets the freshness and spontaneity desired in watercolour but has the ability to change his mind, make corrections and build up a watercolour as he might build up a painting in oil or pastel. This book uses step-by-step demonstrations of protraits and figures as well as landscapes to demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique. This book is designed to be of interest to artists of all levels of ability.
