<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>Interesting that he paints on watercolor
canvas more than watercolor paper. I wonder how the w/c canvas is framed
after painting is completed....Is there a method to the 'how' the canvas is
treated and is glass placed over the artwork?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">Hi Pat (in Calgary)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB" size=2> <FONT size=3>Yes, you are right,
this book does have a special meaning because it reminds me of his
excellent workshop, and the comradery.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB"> As we know books on watercolour deal
with all of the various techniques that one can learn about. Tom Lynch's
style is one of them. He covers the 7 principals of art and
demonstrates them by using his student's paintings as examples. Along
with his own works he stresses a better understanding of the
fundamentals. Whether or not this book helps depends on what we are
trying to achieve. At the very least, though, this Artist is
passing on his knowledge and experiences.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Berlin Sans FB">It is interesting to note Tom
Lynch uses Holbein paints saying it will liquefy better than many
other brands. He also mentions that he now primarily paints on a
watercolour canvas. </FONT></DIV>
