Book excerpt: "Here is a new, handsomely redesigned edition of a classic text. Charles Le Clair covers every aspect of painting in watercolor, giving advice on essential materials and providing sequential instruction in both traditional and special techniques." "But The Art of Watercolor is much more than a how-to-manual; it is completely unique among watercolor instruction books in that it is the only handbook offering a comprehensive course of study of the kind found in a university or professional art school; features the work of historical masters of the medium, including Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Paul Cezanne, along with work by such contemporary stars as Carolyn Brady, Joseph Raffael, and Andrew Wyeth; offers how-to techniques in the context of visual ideas, with technical explanations related to esthetic concepts; and combines studio information with art-historical comment as no other such book has done."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
