No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; A Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. 11.25 inches tall; 144 pages with an index; illustrated with color reproductions.

A compelling guide for artists eager to explore innovative methods in watermedia painting. Masterfield introduces a variety of experimental techniques that encourage creative freedom and a deeper connection with natural elements.

The book covers methods such as solar painting, working with filaments and fibers, and using objects as resists. These approaches enable artists to produce dynamic textures and patterns, fostering a sense of spontaneity and discovery in their work.

For instance, the solar painting technique involves placing objects like nautilus shells on the painting surface during the drying process, resulting in unique resist patterns that reflect nature's intricate designs.
