Thanks Edo, so pleased that you like the book – definitely one of my Hilder favourites which is saying something when there are so many excellent ones to choose from!

You’re far too kind Ray – I went out painting today and had a disastrous time of it so personally, I can’t wait to get a bit of properly ‘expert’ guidance! Glad too that you got to the bottom of the Monastial, Pthalo, Winsor blue mystery. I knew I’d read about it somewhere and it’s most likely that very book as, even though it’s small, it’s packed with great tips and advice (I often carry this book if I’m travelling somewhere as it’s small and light and so easy to flick through – and I usually pick something new up each time I scan through it.)

And thanks for your comments ref my website. The ironic thing I have found out since last night is that you are indeed familiar with “Monastal blue”, it is none other than Winsor blue. Ref Rowland Hilder, notes on blues, page 120 “Starting with Watercolour” Rowland Hilder. I hope you enjoy your painting course with Steve Hall, but you could be running courses yourself!!
Cheers.
Ray.

Thanks so much for your kind words Ray – and for giving me a plug on your site, all much appreciated. I’m also hoping that your monastial/pthalo blue clarification will help too – I’m sure I’ve read that a few times but it’s never really sunk in! It could be because I only use cobalt, ultramarine and winsor blue but (and sometimes feel like even those three are too many!). Great work on your blog too – love the directness of your painting and your writing!

I have only just discovered your website and can honestly say that your standard of work and your approach to it is second to none that I have previously studied. Love it!!

Hi Edo and yes (page 54 in my edition of the book!) I know that I got my copy on eBay and there’s usually a few copies available on there although some are for crazy prices!
