Acuarela para urban sketchers: Recursos para dibujar, pintar y narrar historias en color

Por Felix Scheinberger

La técnica de la acuarela vive una segunda edad de oro gracias al auge del urban sketching. Se trata de un medio sofisticado que requiere de un considerable dominio al tiempo que permite entregarse al azar y a la sorpresa. Aprender a pintar con acuarela es, pues, un auténtico reto técnico y expresivo. Este libro, un manual práctico y accesible para introducirse en el mundo de la acuarela, ofrece una serie de pequeñas lecciones sobre el tema que abarcan desde las técnicas fundamentales, como el aguado o el glaseado, hasta los materiales y herramientas más habituales, o sencillos trucos y consejos sobre cuestiones prácticas, narrativas y estilísticas. Con un planteamiento directo y muy visual, el libro nos ofrece, además, conocimientos muy sólidos sobre teoría del color. La acuarela no es simplemente una técnica, es casi una actitud. Ya seas artista, ilustrador, urban sketcher o aficionado al dibujo, familiarizarte con este lenguaje se convertirá en un excitante desafío que te introducirá en un universo expresivo totalmente nuevo.

In theory, I wanted to try sketching from real-life, but found it more interesting to learn about than to do. Scheinberger explains the good and bad of going out in cold and heat, among people who may like to be sketched, or not.

This is by far the best book on watercolor sketch techniques that I have read in the last year. The word urban in the title is something of a misnomer, because the book is for more broad than sketching on site. The book is a broad discussion of watercolor as an art technique, and is more thoughtful and deep than any that I've read on the subject. At the same time, it is applicable engaging. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering or pursuing watercolor painting as part of their artistic and creative endeavor
