Product Description
More and more painters are traveling with the intent of capturing new experiences in their art. Whether doing so to keep a journal of their thoughts and feelings on the road or simply a visual record of the journey, the finished product is a work of art in itself. Watercolor Journeys provides readers with a look "over the shoulder" at the personal watercolor sketchbooks of internationally experienced artist Richard Schilling. Built around fifty key questions or problems artists will encounter while keeping a travel journal, it's packed with hundreds of tips and techniques born from a lifetime of painting- on-the-road experience. Schilling's actual journal pages are reproduced to clarify each and every lesson. Readers will also find solutions to the unexpected problems of journaling on the road, such as dealing with rain or insect attacks, or sketching the local populace without being noticed. Schilling's fascinating, sometimes humorous anecdotes will keep readers enthralled even when they aren't painting! Richard Schilling has been a watercolor artist for forty years. He teaches at the Loveland Academy of Fine Arts and is a frequent contributor to many fine art magazines, including The Artist's Magazine, American Artist and Southwest Art. An avid traveler, he recently completed a fifteen country tour of Europe and the Middle East. Schilling lives in Loveland, Colorado.

 My favorite watercolor book March 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this book for a couple of years and it is clearly my favorite since I read it over and over again. The author does a lot of ink sketching with watercolor washes, a style that I find I really like. Good tips on materials and methods, but the example paintings are what keeps bringing me back. I recommend this book highly.

Watercolour Journeys is packed full of tbe artist's beautiful watercolour sketches and paintings along with dozens of ideas and notes on how to keep a travel journal. I collect artist's journals and this book is one of my favourites. Richard shares himself as he writes and draws. By the end you feel you know him.
Inspirational not instructional November 10, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a gem at conveying the rewards of creating a sketchbook journal. Much of it is made up of sketches of all types with short explanations about the location of the sketch. In a few cases the author explains how he created some of the effects. So it's not instructional as much as it is inspirational. It made me start sketching anew. Most of all the sketches are so good that they serve as some great examples to follows.
