Synopsis

Watercolour is presented as an ideal medium for fashion and figure work, offering loose, impressionistic results that capture the essence of a look without becoming overly detailed. Francesco Lo Iacono sets out a complete course, covering tools and materials, a range of techniques, and guidance on lighting, shading and colour, including palette building, colour mixing and achieving varied skin tones.

The book includes 20 step-by-step projects that progress from simpler subjects to more complex studies, beginning with accessories such as handbags and shoes before introducing figures. Subjects span full figures from different angles, close-up make-up and beauty illustrations, and approaches to dynamic editorial composition, alongside advice on digitising and retouching finished work, combining watercolour with other media, and working live at fashion events.
