Ink & Wash in the Forest - by Camilla Damsbo Brix (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Ink & Wash Florals Camilla Dambso Brix comes a joyful exploration of forests and the treasures hidden within them. Across 25 step-by-step tutorials, Camilla teaches readers foundational watercolor and fineliner techniques alongside innovative tips and tricks to bring a charming collection of native botanicals and furry forest friends to life.

From the proud canopies of autumn oak trees to feathery ferns and toadstools in the underbrush, readers will capture the soothing beauty of the forest. They'll celebrate seasonal showstoppers with textural beech trees in winter, delicate forest anemones in spring, and ripe blackberries in summer. Once readers are confident with expressive stand-alone subjects, Camilla guides them through five woodland scenes complete with animal subjects. Under her tutelage, readers will be amazed at how fuzzy their squirrel snacking on an acorn is; how easily they render a fox sitting amongst fungus; and how carefully placed shadows can reveal a majestic deer deep in the woods.

Harnessing the healing power of nature and the serenity of ink and wash, Camilla has curated the perfect collection for any artist that wants to sit back, relax, and bring stunning forest scenes to the page.
