Watercolor In Action Responding to Nature DVD with Gerald Brommer. In this art instruction video, watercolor artist Gerald Brommer invites you into his process of building a brilliant watercolor painting and explains the process for choosing a scene, creating an effective composition, and utilizing painting techniques to fully realize your own vision of nature. Beginning by looking around a particular site on the coast, Gerald Brommer chooses a lighthouse in the distance as the subject of his watercolor. From there, he adjusts the elements to make the scene compelling, creating a magnificent landscape of the lighthouse and rocky shore in the final painting. The magic of watching Gerald create a watercolor painting is like watching a Polaroid photograph develop. At first, the painting is soft and pale, then by adding layer upon layer of darks, warm and cool colors, and resonant detail, the artist creates a magnificent landscape. With suggestions on composition construction, color usage, contrast, transitions, and perspective, Gerald gives you a complete set of tools for capturing the spirit and nature of the place. This art video shows Gerald's process of choosing the scene, making composition and construction decisions, and selecting painting techniques to maneuver the elements into the right composition for the final watercolor painting. 60 minute art instruction video.
