“Painting is a journey. Each new piece needs a map — where should I go, and how should I get there? Drawing, color, value, and composition are elements I use to reach the destination. The journey is always on my mind.”
Joe Garcia

Internationally known artist, Joe Garcia, shows works in oil, watercolor and pencil in a variety of subjects. Garcia keeps a rigorous painting schedule every day, all year. He thinks of each new piece as a puzzle to solve, refining technique and composition to create a painting. He is the author of Mastering the Watercolor Wash and The Watercolor Bible, now classic North Light books on watercolor painting techniques. Joe Garcia lives in Julian, California, part of San Diego County’s mountainous backcountry, a perfect environment for a painter of nature.
