‘How to make a watercolor paint itself’

                                  by Nita Engle

Nita Engle’s striking landscape paintings seem to radiate light and vibrancy, yet the techniques she uses are relatively simple. In this book she encourages others to have a go and in particular to discard any inhibitions and simply play with the paint, including squirting, pouring, throwing, finger painting, stamping. The results are remarkable!

Nita Engle is an award-winning American artist who originally trained in commercial design and illustration and worked in advertising for many years. After experimenting with a plethora of different media, watercolours became her passion and she developed a unique style of painting dramatic and atmospheric landscapes which still retain a large amount of realism. Her most important source of inspiration is the ever decreasing wilderness.

This book is a must-read for both experienced and budding watercolour painters as well as for anyone with an interest in the visual arts.
