Learn how to improve your negative space & counterchange with this excellent DVD from popular artist & teacher Trudy Friend. Using elements from her eight basic brush strokes, Trudy shows you how to paint a pretty pot plant set in front of a rustic stone wall using watercolour. Trudy begins by looking at the counterchange of the plant against its background & paints the leaves which form the dark against the light of the composition. She shows you how to give the painting a three dimensional feel by adding a variety of tone by building up dark areas & casts shadows on the pot plant to anchor it. Once finished, Trudy evaluates the painting & adds those final minute brush strokes to increase contrast & bring it completely to life. This DVD is ideal for those who want to learn about tonal relationships between a form & its background & how negative space can form the basis of your positive composition.

This DVD has been produced to show you how to improve your seascapes using watercolours. Arnold starts by demonstrating some of the important techniques needed for painting sky, rocks & sea, using brushes, sponges & razor blades. His friendly & effective teaching style means you will pick up many useful tips whether you are fairly new to watercolour or are an old hand at the medium & subject. Once he has demonstrated the techniques he uses, Arnold then paints two beautiful seascapes, explaining all the steps along the way. The first painting shows vigorous seas with lots of emotion.

He then follows this by painting a seascape which is all about romance
- romantic colours & lots of soft edges. He explains romantic scenes are not about detail but about a feeling expressed with soft colours, silhouettes & serene lines.
