Abstract

Water Colors of Two Schools

The article focuses on two books "Water Color Painting," by Alfred W. Rich and "Modern Water-Color," by Romilly Fedden. Both of these books come from England, each is the production of a water-color painter who has attained to some reputation and has had some experience in teaching, and each is intended to be of practical service to the student of water-color painting. Rich expands his volume by some thirteen chapters on The Water-Colour Painter's Country, containing an account of the parts of England in which he has found the best material for his art. Fedden's thin book of 115 pages begins with chapters on The Growth of Modern Water-Colour, What Is a Good Picture? etc., and it is only with the seventh chapter and the 91st page that it gets to Methods and Materials.
