His confidence and vision are fantastic but I also enjoy it when he struggles a little or makes the odd mistake. Well done Joseph and congratulations to APV.Īnother great watercolor DVD by the master JZ. I love the rural themes throughout and Joseph seems to be really relaxed and enjoying being surrounded by such beautiful scenery. I have all of Joseph's DVDs but this one for me is the best. Well done Joseph and to APV, you've done it again! You know from seeing his other films that every new production is going to as good if not better than anything you've seen previously. Well, you don't really need to see this new DVD of Josephs to comment. And he offers plenty of useful tips, perhaps the most important of which is to start with a sound drawing. While we may not be able to fully emulate Joseph's dancing, telling brushstrokes, they are certainly an inspiration. In Rural France in Watercolour he visits the Dordogne region, where he finds five contrasting, challenging subjects. Joseph Zbukvic also likes to travel, and his wonderfully atmospheric paintings have won him acclaim around the world. All in all, this is a highly informative, enjoyable and inspiring film. He impressively suggests perspective across the lake, and after adding touches of pink for the flowers, he drops in the reflections on the water. He adds a graduated wash that creates a beautiful water surface, and plays down the background, flattening it, so as to not draw attention away from the lake. This immediately evokes Monet’s huge canvases and Zbukvic acknowledges the master, but explains why such a subject poses a particular challenge to a watercolourist, with its strong contrasts of darks and lights on the water. His final two paintings include a corner of a market, where he endorses his advice to students to simplify in order to create a stronger image, and a tranquil lily pond. As a complete contrast, he then uses his experience as an equine artist to complete a quick study of a dressage rider on a farm, putting her horse through his paces.

He draws this more complicated structure out carefully, emphasising the few darks to define the form, and also adds shadow that has yet to arrive, to strengthen the composition. He works more intuitively, sometimes picking up colours he has previously used, already mixed on his palette.īrantôme is his next stop, where he paints buildings running along the river towards an old bridge, bathed in late afternoon sun. He doesn’t identify precisely which colours he uses, as he feels it’s an insult to nature to reduce colours to chemical or commercial names. He looks for a unifying tone that runs through the composition to pull it together. Zbukvic discusses how he moves a few elements around to create a better composition, and has a fairly detailed drawing in place before he starts painting. His first painting features a small chateau, in hazy sunshine. Designed by himself, to hold paints, paper, and brushes, it’s sadly not available for purchase. He starts by discussing his equipment, including his highly desirable work box/easel. For his film, Rural France in Watercolour, he visits the Dordogne, to explore its beautiful countryside. Now resident in Australia, he regularly travels abroad, adding variety and vitality to his work.
