Watercolour Toolbox (Revised Edition)
Essentials for Painting Success
by
Karen Richardson
From her experience as a professional artist for four decades and a watercolour workshop instructor for over 15 years, Karen Richardson has identified the challenges everyone encounters when learning to paint. Watercolour Toolbox focuses on simple solutions that anyone can learn, illustrated with step-by-step demonstrations for creating realistic stones, flowers, landscapes, and buildings. It includes a bonus section detailing how she frames her watercolour paintings without glass. With Karen’s insightful guidance, choose materials that make painting easier, and learn to mix any colour from just three tubes of paint. Discover her fun strategies for staying engaged with your paintings from start to finish. Whether you are a beginner or experienced artist, you will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to make stunning, lifelike paintings.
“This book is by far the very best, most helpful watercolour training book I have ever read. Full of helpful tips and techniques - I would recommend this to anyone.” ~J. Hay “I read the book cover to cover, underlining and making notes. What a great read! It wasn’t packed with pages of complicated information and details that you often find in “how to” manuals that make you wish you had a translator. It was just like your classes...organized, encouraging, open and it made watercolours accessible and achievable. I’m so glad I bought it ... I love the format of the book...the colour coding and the way you put it together...so different, readable and easy to understand. It is a key resource for my painting journey!” ~D. Schurman “Love this book! I refer to it often!!” ~T. Joyce “A wonderful book! Lots of information and instruction that’s helped me become a better painter. A great bang for your buck!” ~V. Colbourne MacPherson
Karen Richardson’s watercolour paintings of northern Canadian scenery are authentically inspired by her lifelong exploration of wild places by RV, motorcycle, snowmobile, and kayak. In her paintings, she captures those quiet moments of heartfelt awe and wonder we often feel in Nature. “I hope Watercolour Toolbox will support and inspire many students on their own painting journeys,” she says. “I feel honoured to pass on whatever knowledge I can, to make their creative adventures more fulfilling.” Visit www.karenrichardson.ca to learn more about Karen’s unique artistic life and travels.
