Mario Robinson is a contemporary master. In the end, with any great work of art, the medium disappears, leaving us profoundly changed by the encounter. With humility and virtuosity he adeptly guides us through every step of how to make a painting. “Robinson's unconventional technique involves monochrome underpainting, thin layers of color, and unpainted portions of the paper used as highlights, delivering very realistic representations of people, texture, light, and space. Artists of intermediate skill level are best poised to benefit from these lessons.”—Library Journal“I love this book

Robinson's sensitive technique and mastery of light make this book helpful and inspiring for photographers as well This was offered for reviews through Amazon's Vine program, but wasn't on my list. When I read another Vine review, and clicked on the link to the book, I had to buy It for myself. Something about Robinson's artwork and approach to watercolor was just so captivating, even though I don't paint at all.The book arrived yesterday and is even more beautiful and inspiring than I had hoped. (You can see his technique in the wonderfully expressive self portrait on the cover). The emphasis here, per. A Great Find Merisi39 I have been an art instructor for the last 22 years, and am always reading about different techniques in a variety of mediums. I hadn't seen a book on watercolor that I could understand (I'm green color-blind) until now. A lot of books focus on palettes that are wide ranging in color, which is frustrating for me. They also do not specifically address the movement, flow, or control of water. However, I found this to be very easy to understand. I was so interested in this book that I found my
Robinson’s approach to the medium of watercolor is primarily traditional but his methods are unconventional. Robinson simplifies the process and teaches artists to layer colors from light to dark and to focus on the highlighted areas first. Further, his “live in the moment” approach embraces watercolor’s unpredictability as part of the process, the end result being a painting with intensity, spontaneity, and beauty. Many artists find watercolor difficult to control and are often disappointed with the results. The water meanders across the surface of the paper and, given the proper nuance by the artist’s brush, it will reluctantly settle. Inspiring, concise, and practical, Mario Andres Robinson gives watercolorists of every skill level—from beginner to advanced to professional—encouraging advice and the must-have materials and techniques information they need to take their realistic painting to the next level, such as: Essential Studio Practices • Materials and Tools • Exploring Your Subject • The Importance of Drawing &
