Summary of Creating Textures in Watercolor

Here expert watercolorist Cathy Johnson shows them how in her practical step-by-step manner. Johnson shows how to create 83 different textures, including fruits and vegtables, hair, glass, metal, fabric, flowers, fur, skin and various natural textures. Each texture, and their many variations, is demonstrated by Johnson's watercolor sketches, all with specific call outs to illustrate individual techniques. Artists can apply these techniques to their own work to create fabulous watercolor paintings that almost seem to "breathe."
