Filmed both on location & in the studio, this DVD shows you how to go from a simple sketch to a finished painting & all the steps in between. Starting with the on location sketch, Peter Woolley takes you to The Roaches, where he draws two scenes. He explains how to sketch simply, as it is all about positioning things, sizing things up, & working out where the shapes & tones are. In the studio Peter takes the two on location sketches & shows you how to turn them into beautiful watercolour paintings. He starts by demonstrating the creation of a "studio sketch", which takes the location sketch one step further. He also shows you how to draw with the brush, create stunning wet-in-wet skies, how & where to paint light & darks to show depth, & even how to go straight into a painting without worrying about drawing it first. By the end of this DVD you'll know that a painting is a composition
- you just need to know how to engineer lines, shapes, colours & tones to make the best of your subject.
