New York: Watson-Guptill Publications, 1988. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. pp: 143. This copy has been inscribed and signed (with her first name) on the reverse of the free endpaper. She has also signed and dated (1991) the dedication page. Cobb has spent years experimenting with new ways of using water media. In this book, she provides artists with "...a series of exercises that illustrate methods of building surface textures, methods that jolt the eye and bring new excitement to the work." (jacket blurb) She has divided the book into the following sections: The Search For a Personal Vision; Designing the Painting Surface; Enriching the Painting Surface; and, Questions and Answers. The book is illustrated throughout in black and white and full colour. This is a very good copy with sunning to the spine, and a line of fading to the boards about 5mm (1/4 inch) along the base. The jacket has sunning on the spine, and top edge, and moderate wear at the spine ends.
