Capture the Rich Textures of Nature, Step by Step Capture nature's beauty as you never have before. Beloved artist and teacher Claudia Nice leads you on an inspired journey through the great outdoors. With paints in hand, she shares with you her best techniques for creating landscapes that come alive with richness, depth and textured detail. Open this guide and start painting right away. As you follow engaging, step-by-step demonstrations and exercises, you'll learn to recreate the textural elements of a range of terrains and landscapes. Chapters include: • Creative clouds and skies • Majestic mountains, hills and mesas • Texturing trees, trunks and foliage • Rugged rocks and gritty gravel • Transparent textures for rivers, falls and lakes • Flowers of the field In a special section, Claudia covers basic texturing techniques with mini demos using lines, dots, bruising, scribbling, spattering, blotting, printing, stamping and more. From paints and pens to sponges, leaves and facial tissue, you'll explore all kinds of fun and inventive ways to create amazing textures. And to help you put it all together, Claudia includes her masterful advice for creating compositions using reference photos, field sketches and your own creative license. Each demonstration features a large image of the completed landscape, so you can see exactly how Claudia's methods work - from start to finish. Read more

  • Finally! This is the one I needed!
Format: Paperback
This is the 5th "how to" watercolor book I've bought. And this one has technique and explanations I can finally sink my teeth in to! This is a 10 star book to me. (The other books I did give 5 stars to-because art and beauty are in the eye of the beholder- I guess.) The other 4 books had hokey horrible little grade school projects and half the book taken up with handy "traceable" drawings. (Uck.) This book is packed with "grown up" projects and instructions. I had it in my cart from the get go, but with no clue what the inside looked like, I chose to buy the other books. After I bought the other 4, I was very hesitant to waste any more money. If the description for this one had a few photos of the inside contents I would have bought it 1st! Claudia Nice (thank goodness!) does me the favor of assuming I am a grown up and have passed long ago the need for coloring book outlines of apples and bananas that I can trace! Warning: do not buy this book if you have not mastered the skill of drawing/sketching landscapes. (A good understanding of perspective will be helpful too.) If you have not-this book will only frustrate you. Also, while you have the app open put a set of micron pens in all the sizes in your cart-you will thank me later. Lastly, please note I read the reviews of this book and they factored in to my decision against purchasing it. But now I see those reviews were of the 'sour grape' variety. I cannot emphasize enough that this is NOT a beginner's book. You MUST have some basic skills in place before you try to tackle this one. ... show more

  • Very helpful and easy to follow.
Format: Paperback
This is a good book to help with landscapes. I’ve be watercolor painting for more than 10 years now. I’ve tried landscape books to help me since I stink at landscapes. This book is great. I can follow the author, understand what she is talking about. I like this even better than my Paul Clark books, and that is saying something! ... show more

  • Great Book!!
Format: Paperback
This is a fantastic book! It is filled with information on how to achieve different textures using everything under the sun. I’m very pleased with my purchase. I’m attempting watercolors for the third time in my adult life. I can’t wait to try out all the ideas that are in this book.

  • Good information. Techniques very detailed.
Format: Paperback
It is a very well written book and I will be implementing the tools and techniques outlined in the chapters. The only issue I have is the font that is used in the book for the examples. It is extremely hard to read because it looks like hand printed writing instead of actual print from a normal book. It is extremely difficult to read and I feel detracts from the methods taught. ... show more
