Vibrant alternatives to conventional ways of painting fill this best-selling book, helping watercolorists of all levels experience new dimensions of growth. Sixty-four bold experiments promote originality in composition, concept, and technique. Accompanying each experiment and exemplifying its theme is a full-page painting by a fine artist-Georgia O'Keeffe, Reuben Tam, Sam Francis, and Nathan Oliveira, among dozens of others. Practical advice tells the reader how to overcome specific painting problems and become a more spontaneous watercolorist.
