THE FIGURE IN WATERCOLOR:

SIMPLE, FAST, AND FOCUSED

From sketches to finished painting, learn to capture the essence of your subject.

Mel Stabin demonstrates the steps it takes to paint portraits, people in an environment, groups of people, and more.

Following the footsteps of Watercolor: Simple, Fast, and Focused is Mel Stabin’s latest book - The Figure in Watercolor: Simple, Fast, and Focused. Capturing a figure’s unique personality and multifaceted quality in watercolor is challenging but Mel demonstrates, step by step, how you can capture the figure by painting simply, directly, and with intense focus on the “essence” of a person.

You will discover tested techniques and hands on tips for painting portraits, people in an environment, groups of people, and painting people from photographs. In addition to drawing and painting the figure, chapters present specific information on materials and equipment, light and shadow, and treating edges. You will also find a treasury of valuable advice on design, composition, shape, value, color and more!
