City scenes can be one of the most challenging landscapes to render convincingly; watercolorist and art teacher Geoff Kersey here shows how to use watercolor techniques to paint buildings, street details, and other fixtures of the urban landscape. Through easy-to-follow lessons-complete with full-sized, reusable tracing templates, and illustrated with more than 200 step-by-step photos-Kersey presents scenes featuring five New York City landmarks: the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, the Flatiron Building, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. The book includes a complete list of the brushes and paint colors used, as well as additional finished subjects for inspiration and a sixth tracing template, to try on your own.The world's painted masterpieces weren't all created in oils; artists like Winslow Homer, Paul Cézanne, and John Singer Sargent also painted great works in watercolor. Housed in a compact flip-top case that requires very little shelf space, this set of instruction cards and materials contains all the essentials for the novice watercolor artist, including a dozen watercolor paint tablets, a mixing tray, and a small pointed brush. The deck of 50 glossy 4 × 6-inch cards offers step-by-step lessons and guidance for developing your skills in watercolor.
