- Summary:
- One of the world's leading, architectural perspectivists. Thomas Schaller is especially revered for his ability to exploit the uniquely expressive qualities of watercolor in his work. Combining his technical expertise with many illustrations from modern masters like Frank Costantino and Elizabeth Ann Day, he shows how illustrators capitalize on watercolor's evocative powers to realize their own visions. This softcover revision of Schaller's AIA award-winner traces watercolor's rise as a means of artistic and architectural expression and showcases its continuing vitality.
