This title shows reader's how to improve their art and paint, using only three colours. It includes 20 step-by-step demonstrations that show how a painting is built up, using photographic reference. These techniques are accessible and useful to all, from beginners to experienced painters. In this user-friendly and truly liberating book Stan shows how numerous shades can be achieved and stunning paintings created using just three paint colours - alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue and yellow ochre - plus white. Stan takes the reader through 20 demonstration paintings and explains not just how to paint, but the thought process involved in doing so. The demonstrations are divided into two sections: those using watered-down gouache, to create watercolour-style paintings and those using thick gouache, in the style of oil paintings. Using his techniques, he says, even a complete beginner will get a great result at the first attempt and the experienced artist will improve his painting.
