Ron Ranson On Skies: Techniques In Watercolour and Other Media

Description:

From the serenity of a color-streaked evening sky to the breaking light of a new day to the misty grayness after a rain shower, the ever changing sky dictates the whole mood and feeling of landscape painting. Master watercolorist Ron Ranson demonstrates how to capture the sky and improve the quality of your paintings, using a palette of only seven colors. He explains how to use a camera as a tool and photographs as a source to keep your work fresh, immediate, and spontaneous. A colorful gallery of finished paintings illustrates the results of the various techniques, and Ranson's constant enthusiasm provides plenty of encouragement. From clouds to sunlight to weather conditions, by successfully interpreting the beauty of the sky you will create more effective paintings every time you put brush to paper. A Selection of F&W's North Light Book Club. Studio Vista 128 pages (all in color), 8 3/4 x 10 7/8.

It's well kept. Just some very minor marks on the edge and corners, not more than normal keeping marks. And the only biggest difference with a new book might be the name of the owner written before title page. So all the contents are safe. A little bit yellowish due to lasting time. But overall, nicely well kept.

Information about clouds, how they form, what they mean, etc, is a great help when trying to paint them. A whole book on the subject is so much better than a few paragraphs in a more general watercolour book.
