Seventy years as a professional artist, back up Webb's current activities in painting, lecturing, jurying and writing. His unusually sophisticated and idiosyncratic approach to watercolor is set forth in his five books: 'Watercolor Energies,' 'Webb on Watercolor,' and 'Strengthen Your Paintings with Dynamic Composition,' “Frank Webb’s Life and Art,” and in his newest publication, a coffee table book “Frank Webb: A Lifetime Collection.” In these books he explores the philosophy of art while seeking inspiration and artistic self- discovery. Webb covers a broad spectrum of subjects beyond traditional landscapes. Since in his own words, 'Painting is more caught than taught,' he stresses the importance of seeing, feeling, and responding to possibilities while synthesizing realism with abstractionism.

Going beyond the usual technical display of watercolor, Webb's paintings express his interest in the creative concept and design principles.
