Walter Foster was born in Woodland Park, Colorado, in 1891. In his younger years, he worked as a sign painter and a medicine salesman. He also performed in a singing and drawing vaudeville act. Walter invented the first postage stamp vending machine and drew political caricatures for several large newspapers. He's well known as an accomplished artist, art instructor, and art collector.
In the 1920s, while running his own advertising agency, Walter began writing self-help instruction books. The books were first produced in his home in Laguna Beach, California. He wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, shipped, and distributed them himself. In the 1960s, as the product line grew, he moved the operation to a commercial facility, which allowed him to expand the company and achieve worldwide distribution.
Walter Foster was truly a dominant force in the development of art instruction books that make it possible for many people to improve their art skills easily and economically. Walter passed away in 1981. He is fondly remembered for his warmth, dedication, and unique instruction books.
