Summary

Artists who work from photographic source material need to learn how to adapt and improve in order to create a successful painting。 Geoff Kersey is a master of this way of working， and here he shows how it is done。 Reference photographs， colour charts and preparatory sketches are shown alongside all the finished paintings in this book， with full details of the adaptations and creative processes involved。 There are plenty of clear tips and advice， and an illustrated glossary of all the painting terms used。 Readers who want much more advice on adapting from reference sources than is provided in step by step painting books will have all they need here， and there are dozens of beautiful paintings to inform and inspire them。

Leigh Gaston ，

Very helpful watercolor instruction。 Particularly liked that he shared the color mixes he used for each painting and how he achieved various effects。

Ann ，

Great watercolors from photographs in how to transfer the photograph to a painting。 Loved his use of color mixtures。

James ，

Not much technique but excellent examples of color selection and image modification and simplification。 Some composition notes as well。 I don't care for his color choices， they seem a bit bright， but Thomas Kinkade fans will love them and they are harmonious。 This brightness could be a printing issue as well， the originals may be more subdued。 Not much technique but excellent examples of color selection and image modification and simplification。 Some composition notes as well。 I don't care for his color choices， they seem a bit bright， but Thomas Kinkade fans will love them and they are harmonious。 This brightness could be a printing issue as well， the originals may be more subdued。 。。。more

I did a quick skim through of this book。 As I had to return it to the library。 It's not a technique book。 The first 15 pages go over some techniques he used。 I like how he showed how and why he modified the photographs in his final watercolor。 He starts often with a value sketch--which is what I need to start doing。 While he doesn't show step by step techniques， he does show many different techniques as well as some instruction--even if it is barebones。 He does show his color scheme。 Which is he I did a quick skim through of this book。 As I had to return it to the library。 It's not a technique book。 The first 15 pages go over some techniques he used。 I like how he showed how and why he modified the photographs in his final watercolor。 He starts often with a value sketch--which is what I need to start doing。 While he doesn't show step by step techniques， he does show many different techniques as well as some instruction--even if it is barebones。 He does show his color scheme。 Which is helpful。 。。。more
