Watercolour Impressionists

Ran Ranson

Published by David & Charles, hardcover with dustjacket, illustrated

Jack Merriott, Edward Seago, Trevor Chamberlain, John Yardley, Frank Webb ... just some of the artists included in Ron Ranson's personal selection from amongst the world's foremost twentieth-century watercolour impressionists. Many have had their work published in print or book form, but this is the first truly international collection of such paintings.

The author, a practising watercolour painter and teacher, has met many leading watercolourists on his worldwide travels, and studied many more.

This collection represents his personal taste – a taste which, judging by the huge success of his previous books, is shared by many thousands of art enthusiasts around the world. A representative range of each artist's work is accompanied by a biographical sketch, and revealing insights into the circumstances behind the paintings and the techniques used to achieve these impressive results.

Most of us need heroes or heroines to spur us on and help us realise our own potential. This unique compilation of the Einest in contemporary watercolour impressionism will not only appeal to collectors but provide an enduring source of inspiration for any aspiring watercolourist.
