Using Your Head, Heart & Hand

In this watercolor instruction DVD Frank Webb begins his presentation with his favorite materials and then quickly moves on to teach a basic grounding in design terms and concepts. He then develops a ‘value sketch’ from a line reference drawing. He uses the value sketch in each of the following seven chapters as a springboard for his watercolor technique demonstrations. In doing so, the difference that this technique makes in the final painting becomes clear.

After each technique demonstration, Frank uses completed watercolor paintings as examples of finished pieces. His style is bold and decisive.

Frank breaks down this watercolor workshop into learning chapters that cover, Direct Painting, Wet Into Wet, Color Patching, Easel Drizzling, Calligraphic Painting, Layering and Darks First. Using his step-by-step procedure will impart valuable lessons for every artist wishing to improve their painting skills.

This workshop is a wonderful quick overview of watercolor and an energetic kick in pants for anyone wanting to break away from photo realism. In the design section Frank includes reminders about design and composition.
