Deludente

Mi sono fidata delle recensioni entusiastiche ma il libro mi ha deluso molto. L'impaginazione è eccellente ma il contenuto è scarso, sia didatticamente che visivamente. I primi disegni sono ad inchiostro e acquerello (passabili) e piuttosto basici. Un paio carini, ma sono gli unici che salvo perché qui ancora ancora qualcosa si impara. Sono i disegni ad acquerello che sono decisamente brutti
Nelle foto il ramo di una pianta, elementare che più di così non si può, e la pigna dove viene sovrapposto un colore chiaro, alla terra d'ombra, contraddicendo l'insegnamento principe dell'acquerello per cui si parte dai colori chiari aggiungendo via via colori più scuri. Non lo consiglio neppure ai principianti assoluti perché non ci sono siegazioni base per loro. In conclusione ho comprato un libro per tre disegni decenti che avrei potuto trovare ovunque.

What's Up With Burnt Umber?

I am really enjoying the projects in this book. However, I've had some difficulty matching some of the colors she uses with the same paints that she uses. Rosalie and I actually had a text conversation about the burnt umber/ultramarine mix that she uses in multiple projects. Sometimes it comes out greenish for her as with the owl painting but for me it continues to be more blue gray/black which is what she says in the beginning of the book will happen with those two colors.
So I bought the paints she uses and still cannot match some of her burnt umber combinations or the burnt umber itself. I did discover through google that the green can be made with burnt umber and cerulean blue so I'm getting a lesson in color mixing.
Also, some of her steps are not as detailed as many reviews say. She sometimes describes different colors for the same paints without adding "add more or less water." Her book has a lot of white space which makes for a beautiful presentation but the tradeoff is a lack of written steps and details in the tutorials.
On a bright note, I am enjoying using the WN&C Sketcher's Pocket Box Rosalee suggested for these projects, they are the paints she uses and using the small box is quite fun and I'm happy to find the joy in using a small number of paints.
