5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible book from an incredible teacher., February 7, 2009
This review is from: Gruppe on Color: Using Expressive Color to Paint Nature (Hardcover)
It is difficult to put into words how helpful Emile Gruppe's insights are. A wonderful artist, he really helps you to SEE color and their relationships. I borrowed three of his books from the library and it breaks the heart to give them back. I wish I could afford to buy them and have them in my library, truly worth every penny. I include his book on color, brushstroke, and oil painting. I renewed them until I had to take them back. I believe I still owed a fine for lateness.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Gruppe, May 30, 2010
This review is from: Gruppe on Color: Using Expressive Color to Paint Nature (Hardcover)
One of the high points in the Watson-Guptill catalog and, sadly, pretty tough to find. Green cloth with gold details over boards; 144 pp; designed by the Anning. Color and b&w images throughout, including many full-page reproductions.

"When I first told Gruppe we were going to do a book on color, he said, 'Good, we can talk about values.'"

"For all those who enjoy Gruppe's colorful, painterly style, here is an unforgettable visit with the great artist and teacher. In this art instruction and semi-autobiographical book, Gruppe describes his childhood influences, beginning with his artist father and early studies with such notables as Charles Hawthorne, John Carlson, and George Bridgman, and the gradual growth and emergence of his own personal style."

"After years of discipline and hard work, Gruppe found spontaneity, freedom, and his own personal response to nature. This book tells you how he did it...."
