The Control of Water in Watercolour
British master Arnold Lowrey has written a wonderful article that helps overcome the big problems in watercolour – the proportion of water and pigment.
“Most watercolours fail because too much water is used and the results are a wishy- washy mess. So, let’s come to grips with this important subject” – Arnold.
Shadows
Arnold Lowrey writes on a difficult subject – How to succeed when painting shadows.
The painting of shadows causes many artists to fall into a number of traps :

- are completely devoid of colour.
- The direction of shadows— due to changing light source through the day
