Guy Lipscomb's Watercolor: Go with the Flow
By: Lori Kornegay, curator of art
“Who doesn’t like a bit of mystery, provided it’s solvable?” With these words Guy Lipscomb begins a discussion of the “open-flow method” of painting in his book, published in 1993 and entitled Watercolor: Go with the Flow. This practical and detailed instructional guide brings together much of the information Lipscomb gleaned from his years studying with artists he admired as well as his time spent teaching painting workshops across the United States and Canada from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. In addition to his broad impact as an artist and philanthropist, Lipscomb helped countless others along the way in their artistic journeys in his role as an educator.
Lipscomb describes his impetus for writing Watercolor: Go with the Flow as coming from a place of impatience, as he came to the dedicated study of painting midway through his life after working hard to build the family business, Anchor Continental. As the artist noted: “I’m a painter running flat out with too few hours in the day.

Artists Biography
In 1903, Lipscombe took charge of the art department of the popular British magazine, “The Motor.” Ultimately, he became a world famous illustrator and his works now hang in every important Automobile Museum in the world.
Lipscombe’s genre pictures were quite different from his motoring subjects and it is for his beautiful landscapes that he is better known amongst private collectors. Here, he often employed free and expressive brushwork and used a rather rich colour palette on his often large scaled canvases. His landscapes were painted in association with the St. Ives school of painters and Lipscombe’s observation of the famous Cornish light and passion for ‘plein air’ painting was seen to free his palette.
Lipscombe began to exhibit in London from 1908 to 1937 at The Royal Academy, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Abbey Gallery, The Dudley Gallery and The London Salon. He also exhibited at The Walker Gallery in Liverpool.
He died sometime after 1937.
