About this title

About the Author:

FRANK WEBB, a professional artist since 1947, is a Dolphin Fellow of the American Watercolor Society, which he has represented in international exhibitions in Canada, New York, England, Scotland, and Mexico City. A guest instructor in all 50 states, juror, and lecturer, Webb has received over 110 major medals and awards from national competitions, including six from the American Watercolor Society. Collectors of Webb's paintings include National Taiwan Arts Education Center, Baylor University, Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State University, Portland Museum of Art, and South Arkansas Arts Center, to name a few. Webb is featured in Who's Who in American Art and Who's Who in the East, and he is also a member of the Allied Artists of America, Audubon Artists, the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Association, and many other art associations.

From Library Journal:

Going beyond the usual array of technical exercises and exploring the philosophy of art, Webb offers an unusually sophisticated and idiosyncratic approach to watercolor. The book wisely seeks to inspire artistic self-discovery rather than merely to teach Webb's particular style. Since, in his words, "painting is more caught than taught," he stresses the importance of how one sees before the painting process begins. Discussions of the synthesis of abstraction and realism are supported by clear and dramatic technical examples. Unlike many watercolor books, Webb's covers a broad spectrum of subjects beyond traditional landscapes. An unusually literate manual, this is recommended for most collections.
