TO YOU, EILEEN
e idea for a book about becoming fluent in watercolor came from my students, as did the
inspiration to stick my neck out. I am grateful to all for the risks they so willingly take.
anks, also, to my teachers, Douglas Jones and Carl Schmalz, who wound me up forty
years ago and set me down on the track that could only have led right here.
Cynthia Hibbard, equal parts fine watercolor painter and insightful reader, gave
indispensable guidance, without which there would be much more mud.
ank you to Gary Faigin and Pamela Belyea, who encouraged this project more than once,
and in many ways—most notably by building a community at Gage Academy where
watercolor can thrive.
Many thanks to my Gage colleagues, Mitchell Albala and Suzanne Brooker, for help
navigating the twists and turns of preparing a manuscript.
Thanks also to Alison Hagge, my patient and perceptive editor.
To all the artists whose work enriches this book, I am in your shadow.
I am especially grateful for the support of my wife, Eileen, who has always been the bridge
that connects me to the rest of the world, and to our sons, Gus and Cal, who believe in me and
tell me the truth.
