Watercolour Paintings with Photo References by Milind Mulick
About the book
In this book renowned artist Milind Mulick explores and demonstrates watercolour painting using photographs.
 Nowadays due to technological invasion... most artists are 'practically' using photographs as reference material. When a photograph is used as a reference point, it is important to pay attention to draw inspiration from it, not replicate it. This involves developing a preliminary thumbnail sketch to determine the composition and making artistic decisions to recreate 'that' moment.
