Learn Watercolor the Edgar Whitney Way

All watercolor painters, of whatever level, would enjoy this book. The title is misleading - it is a book to be read and enjoyed, not a beginner's "how to" or "magic of" book. The book is something very unique - part biography, part homage. After a synopsis of Whitney's style and methods, fifteen of his prominent students are interviewed and discuss how his teaching influenced their work. Lots of beautiful artwork, explained and discussed. If you read it, your work will benefit!

What a wonderful book! The first part of the book is about Edgar Whitney, his teaching style and principles he taught. The rest of the book is dedicated to several artists that knew him well by studying under him for years. I loved reading their personal stories, relationships and Whitney-isms. Then there are several paintings of each featured artist with a detailed description/analysis of the paintings. I enjoyed these painting commentaries as much as I enjoyed the personal stories. I've owned Edgar Whitney's book for years and re-read it many times so this book adds a softer, friendlier tone to Whitney and his teachings.

I am in the process of reading, "Learn Watercolor the Edgar Whitney Way" ----a section at a time. This book is so informative, and I am so amazed by the absolute direct information Whitney is giving! As an artist who has a very nice library of artistic books of all kinds...this one is number #1 for me! I highly recommend Whitney's book to all levels of artists. Extremely helpful, even if you've had a lot of education/experience---or a beginner!!!

For anyone seriously wanting to advance their knowledge of painting water colors, this book provides insights from 14 accomplished artists, all of whom studied under Edgar Whitney. Many different techniques and approaches are shown, some more valuable than others, but a good cross section of styles.

This is an excellent book giving the feeling of Ed Whitney right at your side. It was interesting to see the work of Whitney's famous students, each implementing the design principles Whitney espoused, in their own unique way. I also have Ranson's other enjoyable book, Watercolor Impressionists.

While an experienced watercolor painter for decades, I found this book particularly helpful and very interesting to read. I believe it helped me to improve my work by seeing things a bit differently. I strongly recommend it.

The book is awesome! And the condintion is excellent! Just as a new!!!

The book itself is brilliant, excellent for any learning watercolorist.The seller in this particular case was great. Fast despatch, excellent packaging, I was extremely satisfied. Highly recommended seller. Thank you very much.

Excellant et intéressant : Envoi satisfaisant,état correct et contenu très intéressant. Il n'y a rien à redire à part le délai de réception mais venant des USA ce n'est pas catastrophique.

anche se non tutto il contenuto e gli autori trattati non sono a livello di ranson o whitney ovviamente positivo
