Description

“I watch the sun slowly fall Behind the mountain While listening to Ravel's 'Adagio Assail'. I look to my left and see Myself cross-country skiing on my trail And look back to the water For the silhouette of my rhythmic casts. Life is rich. Life is good.” —Stephen Quiller Stephen Quiller is an internationally known painter who works primarily in water media, monotypes, and intaglio printmaking. He is best known for his innovative approach to water media painting: watercolor, gouche, acrylic, casein and their combinations, and for his use of color. He has written six books, all published by Watson-Guptill: Water Media Painting with Stephen Quiller Water Media Techniques Water Media: Processes and Possibilities Color Choices Acrylic Painting Techniques Painter's Guide to Color His research and development of a color wheel for painters called the “Quiller Wheel” is now used by thousands of painters throughout the world.
