Painting Glowing Colors in Watercolor

By making use of Penny Soto's detailed knowledge of watercolour pigments and how they work together, readers are able to learn how to combine and juxtapose colours in a way that will make watercolours seem to glow from within. She uses step-by-step photographs to teach readers how to choose a carefully chosen underpainting. This is one of the techniques that makes colours "glow," and readers will practise this with mini-demonstrations and illustrative instructive art. She also guides readers on light, backgrounds and shadows, with a special chapter on using underpainting to paint reflections in water.
