As you can see, it has been in dry-dock for a few years now as I have not had much time to focus on it due to some other art endeavors, 2 kids and too many irons in the fire. I hope to get back to doing some research in the not too distant future and will likely be transferring the blog over to my new site at some point. Check out BearTrailArt.com and leave me a message in the "Contact" box and you will receive notices about the Whitney site. <br /><br />Happy painting, WESWes Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098147370004303766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283548235171947183.post-70947888362758850272015-12-13T12:46:45.649-05:002015-12-13T12:46:45.649-05:00Wow!

It has been neglected for a while, but always hoping to keep it alive with the occasional new material that drifts in.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, I am working late tonight preparing to give a presentation & demo to a group this weekend on the Whitney era of watercolor. It has been fun putting it together and we will see how it goes. Maybe I am really a watercolor history professor at heart? Hope to see you at Cheap Joe's sometime.

From his legends, he must have been one hell of a terrific teacher.<br /><br />When we witness all the 'watercolor road warriors" of today, you just can't help but be amazed by how many lives Ed Whitney has touched . . . directly or indirectly.<br /><br />Thanks, Wes!<br /><br />M.E.

Unfort...@ Citizen Shelly: Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the trend toward video instruction came into being after Ed Whitney's era. I have conferred with Frank Webb and he is aware of a slide show w/ audio that was created by Charles Dunn during Whitney's teaching career, and also believes some filming was done in Texas and shown as a tribute at an SWS meeting after Ed had passed away. We have sent out some inquiries to folks who may have leads to these resources as it would be great to have them "refurbished" in to videos. Unfortunately, tracking down Ed's historical memorabilia is becoming increasingly difficult as time passes!Wes Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098147370004303766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283548235171947183.post-5510554080929900292011-10-25T23:13:19.902-04:002011-10-25T23:13:19.902-04:00Hi, I just heard of Ed Whitney from another artist...Hi, I just heard of Ed Whitney from another artist, and I'm a watercolor artist myself.

I had the benefit to take a workshop back in 1995 with the late Robert E. Wood. I treasure the notes I took at that workshop. Also, I've since taken two workshops with Frank Webb, who introduced me to what I now think of as my signature calligraphic style. I have mentioned he and Whitney in my most recent blogger post.
