Ernest Watson wrote many instructional books and was an advocate of pencil sketching. I didn't realize it, but he also produced instructional videos.
His grandson put this one on YouTube recently. He also shared this bio info:
"Ernest W. Watson was born in 1884, graduated form Massachusetts Normal Art School in 1906, and received an Art Teacher Education Degree from Pratt Institute in 1907, where he subsequently taught from 1908 to1929. He co-founded the Berkshire Summer School of Art in Monterey, MA, with Raymond P. Ensign, was art editor of Scholastic Magazine from 1931 to 1937, when he founded Watson-Guptill Publications along with Arthur L. Guptill and Ralph Reinhold. Watson was vice-president of Watson-Guptill, and Editor in Chief of it's publication, American Artist Magazine, until his retirement in 1955. He died in 1969. He is best known for his broadstroke pencil drawings, an example of which is demonstrated in this film, and for his linoleum block prints which he often co-created with my grandmother, Eva Watson."
Despite that impressive biography, there is currently no Wikipedia page on Ernest W. Watson. Anyone know how to remedy that?
More info: Thanks, Paulo.
