Hardcover. NY, Watson-Guptill, 1st, 1983, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 144 pages illustrated in color and b&w. Demonstrates a technique developed by Burt Silverman, which utilizes unorthodox painting methods to expand the command of watercolor painting. The author gets the freshness and spontaneity desired in watercolor but has the ability to change his mind, make corrections and build up a watercolor as he might build up a painting in oil or pastel. This book uses step-by-step demonstrations of portraits and figures as well as landscapes to demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique. Clean copy.
