Watercolor Energies
Where do you stand in relation to the artist you started out to be? This book encourages the painter to aim for energies. Learn how to create works with vigor and power in action and expression. Go beyond eyesight painting and concentrate on expression. A figure can only be seen against a background. This book organizes itself against the background of the artist's convictions.
Webb on Watercolor
Great watercolors require a mastery of technique. This book introduces the painter to not only numerous techniques relating to watercolor, but by the way of design principles. Each of us wants to be more creative, to grow independently from others, to find our own style, and most of all, to develop a sense of criticism toward our own work. Learn to fan the flames of enthusiasm.
Dynamic Composition
Here it is; the book sought out by students and myself. Composition deals more with forces then objects. It should not only precede execution, but also spring life-like out of countless decisions made during painting. It requires little courage to paint what you see. To paint what you think and feel takes guts. Break through the composition barrier. 24 painters show you how.
