Webb on Watercolor

Webb on Watercolor is an instructive and insightful guide for serious painters striving to expand their technical skills and develop a strong personal style. When looking at a finished painting, you should see some of yourself in the brush strokes. By combining masterful technical advice with unusually inspiring wisdom on the topic of artistic self-discovery, Frank Webb delivers transformative lessons on the art of watercolor painting. Webb on Watercolor outstrips traditional watercolor manuals by mixing challenging technical exercises with discussions on the philosophy of art and the role of enthusiasm and experimentation in personal artistic development. Stressing the importance of "seeing" before even dampening your brush, Webb will open your eyes to a dimension of the watercolor medium that is often left uninvestigated. Featuring clear technical examples and an array of subjects beyond watercolor's traditional landscapes and sunsets, Webb on Watercolor is required reading for any artist who is serious about developing their watercolor painting.
