Review: People of my generation could be forgiven for thinking that Ann simply followed her father John. Yes, she obviously gained much from his superb paintings but has added a dimension that is all her own. She uses textures that fill spaces between features with subtle interest but never allows texture to rule the composition. Her colours are both sublime and breathtaking and because she really understands ,through both natural ability and the desire to search , she achieves. I recommend this book to my students because it is an eye opener and a remover of limited thinking . The typography used in the text and the colour of it might be arty but has forgotten its purpose to the extent that those with less than perfect eyesight will struggle to read it . Not withstanding this the pictures alone make this a feast worth sitting down to

Review: If you like Anne Blockley's style of work and writing, and only want one of her books, this has to be the one. (I only own Experimental Flowers, which I rate very highly, but have read library copies of most of the others). She explains a philosophy of working as well as technique. I would think anyone who reads it thoughtfully and with an open mind to experimentation would find something to develop their own painting.

    Description: An inspirational and practical art manual, packed with step-by-step projects. Artist Ann Blockley is renowned for her innovative approach to watercolour painting. Her highly anticipated new book provides a series of workshops demonstrating how to push the boundaries of watercolour, using key techniques to develop your own work and take your paintings to the next level. Ann's easy-to-follow, step-by-step projects demonstrate how some of her most dramatic paintings are created. She describes in detail some of the key techniques used and how you can experiment with alternative methods to create your own interpretations. Finally, her beautiful and inspirational artworks demonstrate how different interpretations of a subject might take an unexpected or unusual direction, and how to make the most of these opportunities. The book moves, with progressively challenging projects, from loose wildflower meadows, textured woodland and rustic rambling walls to atmospheric or semi-abstract landscape corners, all rendered in Ann's adventurous signature style. Loose, expressive mark-making and unusual techniques include combining water-based paint and ink with granulation medium for dramatic texture, drawing with twigs, using gesso and collage to create unique effects; manipulating paint with materials such as plastic wrap (clingfilm); developing printed marks made using found materials. Following the huge demand for more practical guidance in experimental painting, the book provides plenty of techniques and instruction. Ann's personal commentary also gives a unique insight into the mind of the artist - ways of looking at your subject, how to explore and experiment - to unlock the potential of your watercolour painting.

In this beautiful guide she explores woodlands in a variety of interpretations, from tangled groves and ancient trees to fiery leaves and springtime orchards.

There's practical advice on working outside, experimenting with mixing colours (especially greens), playing with water effects, using salt and granulation, mark-making and spattering with found objects such as leaves and twigs, creating texture with gesso and working with collage. Other techniques include working with oak gall ink and charcoal, and how to incorporate words, text and photo transfer. The book is illustrated throughout with stunning examples of Blockley's colourful, expressive work, including a case study of her own woodland garden. Also showcased are works by fellow artists from The Arborealist group, the Royal Institute, and the Pastel Society to inspire you further.
