In this, his first book, the popular artist & writer Jake Winkle introduces his innovative & adventurous ways with colour & light. Working in a loose style characterised by the use of washes, wet-in-wet & free brushwork, Jake captures his subjects by using dynamic colour combinations that reflect their vitality & movement.

Jake's subjects range from landscapes & buildings to wildlife, people & still lifes & it is fascinating to see how he adapts his style to each, rather than forcing them to conform to his own way of working.

Includes:: some step-by-step demonstrations that will allow you to practise for yourself. Author: Jake Winkle ISBN: 9781849940276
