Synopsis

Known for rethinking traditional subjects, Ann Blockley turns her attention to landscape, sharing a process-led way of working that invites experimentation and personal interpretation. A wide range of methods is explored, from combining water-based paint and ink with media such as gesso and collage, to manipulating washes with materials including plastic wrap (clingfilm).

The book also looks at tearing, layering and reassembling paintings into watercolour collages, alongside building texture and marks with fabrics and other found objects. Throughout, Blockley adds her own commentary on how individual pieces were made, offering insight into her decision-making as an artist. Suitable for watercolour painters looking to extend their practice beyond familiar techniques.
