It is with great sadness that I report the death of Charles Sovek. His web site states that he died on June 8th.
I consider Mr. Sovek to be a modern master artist, and I have learned a great deal from his fine books and in a workshop I took with him in AZ. Please take a look at his very nice site that is linked here to the right.
Thank you, Charles. You will be dearly missed by all of your many fans out here!

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I will attempt to share my thoughts and passions about painting. I always welcome comments and hope you enjoy the view.
About Me
- David
- Hi. I was born, raised, and educated in Pennsylvania. Painting has become a real passion of mine, and I try to produce a new work at least once a day. All work is for sale, unless noted. Just let me know if you are interested. Rather than realistic copies of scenes, I prefer a more personal, abstract-type vision where the viewer gets to complete the picture in their own mind. Please return often and see if I am successful in my endeavor.

List of Recommended Books
Books, books, books. How I love good art books. They can be your best friend when the world delivers you its share of bad news.
From time to time, I will add books I have read and keep referring to over and over.

1. "Webb on Watercolor" by Frank Webb ISBN: 0-89134-346-6
2. "Oil Painting - Develop Your Natural Ability" by Charles Sovek ISBN: 0-89134-360-1
3."First Impressions" by Edward Norton Ward ISBN: 0-8230-1820-2
4. "Conversations In Paint" by Charles Dunn ISBN: 1-56305-664-X
5. "How To See Color and Paint It" by Arthur Stern ISBN: 0-8230-2468-7
6. "Painting with a Fresh Eye" by Alfred "Chip" Chadbourn ISBN: 0-8230-3888-2
7. "Landscape Painting Inside and Out" by Kevin D. Macpherson ISBN: 1-58180-755-4
8. "Interpreting the Landscape in Watercolor" by Don Andrews ISBN: 0-9655559-2-5
Another out of print gem. Printed in 1974, this is a wonderful teaching manual. I consider this and Frank Webb's book to be two "mother of all watercolor" volumes. Everything a budding watercolorist could want is provided here: laying washes, painting middle values, planning, spacial concepts, calligraphy, etc. If you go through this book and follow the step-by-step lessons Bob Wood produces, you will be well on your way to understanding the art of a great watercolor painting. This one is highly recommended and another must have for your art library!
