Jesse Miksic<p>Ok last one. Whitney aspires to be the Nietzschian prose stylist of scribbling in your sketchbook. The demon Apathy stalks us all, and Whitney does NOT want you to succumb.</p><p>Carry this passage with you, fellow soldiers.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WhitneyWatercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WhitneyWatercolor</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/motivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>motivation</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>inspiration</span></a></p>
Jesse Miksic<p>This is another one with several gems, including a name-drop, the phrase “Heaven help you if you cannot see…” and a snappy conclusion.</p><p>If you like being compared to great artists in grandiose dramatic fashion, you can count on Edgar Whitney for that!</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WhitneyWatercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WhitneyWatercolor</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
Jesse Miksic<p>This seems like Whitney’s final word on the nature of art, except that it comes in the very first chapter, and he reaches this level of drama at least once every few pages</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WhitneyWatercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WhitneyWatercolor</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
Jesse Miksic<p>Here is the quintessential Whitney passage, laying out thick exposition in a soaring tone, taking a swipe at Pollock, and finally asserting the true nature of watercolor in the simplest possible terms.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WhitneyWatercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WhitneyWatercolor</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
Jesse Miksic<p>I got this book a while ago and haven’t ever fully explored it. But it is amazing.</p><p>I feel like every time I open it, I discover another weird little insight or aphorism.</p><p>Maybe I’ll put a few of these in a thread. They are really unexpected, especially out of context.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/aesthetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>aesthetics</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/amReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amReading</span></a></p>
Jesse Miksic<p>Ya’ll, it turns out natural woodsy landscapes are NOT the best thing for practicing your beginner watercolors </p><p>I am now looking at a couple sketchbook pages with a lot of wet green and not much shape or perspective 😬</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/learnArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>learnArt</span></a></p>
