    THE BIG BOOK OF


    WATERCOLOR
    By Jose M. Parramon
    A watercolor painting must be a la prima —
    in the moment, fast, spontaneous. The

    secret is to understand the medium itself:


    its watery, translucent texture, its fluid
    rhythms, its vivid, gem-like colors which
    render such irresistible results.
    In this extraordinary exploration of the
    technique of watercolor painting, a world
    renowned artist, teacher, and author of 27
    books shares a wealth of practical and
    creative knowledge with the beginning or
    more professional painter. From his survey
    of the masters —
    old and new to the ac- —
    tual application of the craft, Jose M.
    Parramon shows the reader not simply how
    to mix color, choose brushes, understand
    paper surfaces, select a palette, furnish
    the studio, but also how to compose,
    evaluate tone, execute perspective, trans-
    and interpret a theme.
    late lighting effects,
    Parramon's "active pictures" are carefully
    selected to complement the text and ex-
    pand the reader's understanding. He dem-
    onstrates the techniques of wet-on-wet
    painting, drybrush, sponge texturing, su-
    perimposition of translucent shapes and
    colors, use of the paper as white, and an
    examination of style. He experiments with
    —
    ranges of color warm, cold, and broken
    — as he enjoins you, the reader, to
    "do it," to really follow his procedures and
    practice the demonstrations so perfectly
    worked out in this book.
    The author includes step-by-step prac-
    ticedemonstrations that trace the painting
    process in watercolor for seven classical
    themes: rustic landscape, landscape with
    a house, cityscape, seascape, harbor
    scene, still life, animals, the human figure.
    Teaching, communicating with the
    reader/student is clearly a labor of love for
    Jose M. Parramon. His presence, patience,
    knowledge, and enthusiasm are felt
    throughout The Big Book of Watercolor
    Painting as he strives to "create in the
    reader the idea that the artist is beside
    him, painting with him, explaining in per-
    son how to do it." Wonderfully detailed,
    The Big Book of Water-
    lavishly illustrated,
    color Painting a joy to look at, an
    is

    unending source of information, and an


    inspiration to paint.
