 Water
Media Painting with Stephen Quiller
The Complete
Guide to Working in Watercolor, Acrylics,
Gouache and Casein
Join renowned artist Stephen Quiller on a journey
of art discovery and exploration. This book is an
in-depth look at all the water media paints available
to today’s artists. Part One looks at watercolors,
with illustrations of the visual characteristics
of the mineral (sedimentary) and transparent (staining)
and their effects with different paper surfaces.
Part Two focuses on acrylics, gouache, and casein
and then using these media in combination. In Part
Three, Quiller shares his secrets for the most difficult
aspect of painting: composition, seeing abstractly,
and developing a personal style and vision. Packed
with Quiller’s thoughts and ideas on painting
philosophy, the meditative and spiritual aspects
of art, and personal observations on painting throughout
his career, this is an inspiring guide to living
a creative life and creating art. This book also
has excerpts from Quiller's journals from the past
twenty years. |

Painter's
Guide to Color
Published in 2000, this
book incorporates innovative and accessible
color-theory techniques that will help you
to train your eye to see and use color in
exciting ways. It presents a wide range of
fundamental color-theory concepts including
the value-intensity foundation, harmoniuous
and discordant colors, and how to use “grays” and “blacks” to
maximum benefit.
The book reviews numerous painting techniques,
giving tips about how each can be used to
maximize color expression. There is also
an innovative chapter on the emotional use
of color. Another highlight of the book is
a chapter on using your color palette while
painting from life. This chapter demonstrates
how to use the standard 12-color palette
or the expanded 24-color palette to mix any
color you want.
