PAINTING THE FIGURE IN WATERCOLOR

 TRADITIONAL APPROACH
$15.95

​Painting down the value scale from light through middle value to dark is the traditional approach figure painters have used for generation. The big advantage to the traditional approach is that the artist can see the painting taking shape and still have lots of room for alterations and adjustments. "The traditonal approach will have a healthy future in watercolor because," Don says, "it works!"

INDIRECT APPROACH
​$15.95

​If you paint things well but there's a lack of direction in the overall mood of your figure paintings, the indirect approach will help you. By wetting down the paper, disregarding the drawing and applying several granular washes across the entire page, a sense of unity is beautifully established. If your figure paintings lack direction in their overall mood, you'll love the indirect approach!

DIRECT APPROACH
​$15.95

​If your figure paintings start out fresh but the murkiness comes in the middle values and darks, try the direct approach. By directly painting the structural shadow pattern of the figure with middle and dark values first, those strong values appear rich and luminous. If your paintings suffer from lifeless middle and dark values, the direct approach is for you!

BACKGROUNDS
$15.95

No matter how well you paint the figure, if the background doesn't work the painting fails. Don has devoted this dvd to helping you better build the proper relationship between the figure and the background. He'll show you how large shapes, color repeats and soft edges are utilized so the background always compliments the figure; key to the success of any figure painting.
