In this e-book, Bob takes you through some of the
basic foundations of watercolour painting that no one
bothered to show him at school In fact, Bob’s
experience of art at school is like so many others’…
So many of my students have told me that they passed through school wanting
to learn art, but were frustrated that they were never taught basic techniques like drawing skills Far too often they were told to 'follow the rules of art' and concentrate
on creating 'mood' and 'energy' and 'themes'
They tried, but floundered because they were never shown how to draw simple shapes like trees or led through the principles of perspective So they gave up
altogether Sadly, they lost art - and art lost them
This mirrors my own experience at school i.e " develop your theme and you'll pick
up the basics as you go along "
Well no, actually you don't!
You need to understand some simple building blocks of drawing and painting
techniques before you get into the heady heights of symbolism and representation in your work
Why have so many "TV Artists" enjoyed such popularity in the last decade or so? It's because they show you how !
I often wonder how long Catering Colleges would survive if their students weren't shown how to beat an egg before they were let loose baking a Christmas cake
