Watercolor techniques for sketching urban scenes

Felix Scheinberger’s guide connects watercolor fundamentals with the practicalities of sketching on the go. It covers color theory alongside techniques such as wet-on-wet painting, glazes, and washes, and discusses materials to carry while traveling. The book also addresses less conventional situations, including painting when water is not readily available, and offers prompts for finding subjects and inspiration. Examples of watercolor work and brief anecdotes accompany the instruction, keeping the focus on how color can be used to develop drawings of everyday surroundings.

A guide that shows painters, drawers, doodlers, and urban sketchers how to bring their drawings to life with colorful, bold, yet accessible painting methods.

COLOR YOUR LIFE

Bring new energy to your sketches of urban scenes with this fresh and simple approach to watercolor painting. Whether you're an amateur artist, drawer, doodler, or sketcher, watercolor is a versatile sketching medium that's perfect for people on the go--much like pen or pencil. Accomplished designer and illustrator Felix Scheinberger offers a solid foundation in color theory and countless lessons on all aspects of watercolor sketching, including:

Fundamentals like wet-on-wet, glazes, and washes
Materials and supplies to bring on your travels
Little-known tips and tricks, like painting when water
isn't handy and seeking out inspiration

Vibrant watercolor paintings grace each page, and light-hearted anecdotes (why do fish make great subjects to paint, you may be wondering...) make this a lively guide to the medium. With an open mind and sketchbook, you will be ready to capture the moments around you in luminous color with confidence, creativity, and ease--no matter what your skill level may be.
