Publisher's Synopsis
The ultimate art guide for kids who love painting and drawing with colours! Many kids love to draw! This delightful book introduces kids ages 9-12 to the wonderful world of watercolours, coloured pencils, markers and pastels. It teaches them all the basic techniques needed to create beautiful works of art on their own! The detailed lessons in this book have over 300 colour photos and are crafted by a team of art teachers to teach kids how to: • Assemble the materials and practice the basic techniques of drawing and painting with colour. • Combine lines, textures, highlights and shadows to boost the realism of their artwork. • Add blurring, blending and layering to create more sophisticated images as their skills improve. • And much more! As they progress through the lessons, kids learn how to paint ten objects and scenes, like: • A juicy red apple with a shiny, speckled skin and a realistic shadow. • A mountain landscape with trees in the foreground and hazy peaks behind. • Exploding oil pastel fireworks seen against a smoky night sky. • A cuddly rabbit with colored-pencil fur and soulful eyes. • Plus 6 more!
