About the Author

William F. Powell is an internationally recognized artist and one of America's foremost colorists. A native of Huntington, West Virginia, Powell studied at the Art Student's Career School in New York, Harrow Technical College in Harrow, England, and the Louvre Free School of Art in Paris, France. He has been professionally involved in fine art, commercial art, and technical illustrating for more than 35 years.

Powell has written and illustrated 13 instructional art books for Walter Foster Publishing, and he is the creator of the original Color Mixing Recipe Cards. His experience as an art instructor includes oil, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, and pastel--with subjects ranging from landscapes and seascapes to portraits and wildlife. Much of the artist's work has been reproduced as prints and collector's plates, and he has produced numerous contract paintings and illustrations for a variety of publishers. Additionally, Powell conducts painting workshops and produces instructional videos that employ unique methods of in-depth presentation and demonstration.

Powell holds awards for his technical art, which has been used for major projects, such as space program and environmental studies. Model making, background sets for films, animated cartoons, and animated films for computer mock-up programs have also been part of his work.
