Philip Jamison

Philip Jamison (July 3, 1925 – September 3, 2021) was an American artist working primarily with watercolor as a medium.

In 1975, he was selected by NASA to paint his impressions of the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project space launch in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

[12] His first book, Capturing Nature in Watercolor (Watson-Guptill, 1980), contains an introduction to his personal history and philosophy of art.

Jamison also elaborates on self-expression, interior design, illustration, and discovering watercolor painting as his true medium.

Jamison also recalls his art training,[13] and salutes the artists that influenced him, including Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Odilon Redon, Andrew Wyeth and especially watercolorists W. Emerton Heitland, who was his teacher and mentor in high school.
