Capturing Light is an essential skill for artists who seek to delve into the intricate nuances of light, with a particular focus on crafting dramatic and imaginative landscapes. Catherine's artistic journey has been fueled by her love for the fluidity of watercolors, leading her to develop a unique painting technique through experimentation and exploration of modern watercolor pigments and the boundaries of the medium. Her method, known as gravity painting, involves using a significant amount of water on a sloping board, creating a natural and intuitive working process that maintains the luminosity and mobility of colors without any "muddying."
The book begins with an in-depth explanation of the technique, the materials employed, and the significance of capturing the essence of a landscape. It includes numerous progressively challenging small exercises, demonstrations, and inspirational finished pictures that showcase the captivating effects of reflections, mists, and shadows, as well as the dramatic impact of different skies. As the book progresses, Catherine introduces ideas for landscape development, along with nine projects that explore how to create light-filled effects.
Through her method, Catherine aims to liberate artists' painting styles, empower their color choices, and teach them how to create vibrant and captivating pictures filled with dramatic light. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter, this book offers valuable insights and techniques to enhance your artistic journey and unlock the full potential of light in your artwork.
