The methods of merging soft luminous washes with the crisp, definite markings of penwork, are made easy with this book. Each stage of the painting process is illustrated using step-by-step photographs and beautiful finished paintings. You can choose a bold effect or a delicate pastel approach, a drawing or painting, in monumental or miniature scale. The wonderful flexibility of line and wash can accommodate many tastes; it is an inexpensive technique which can be worked during any spare moment, on your lap or at a table, and is an excellent way of capturing texture and detail in the landscape, the delicate linework in flowers and leaves, or the linear beauty of buildings.
