According to the authors' state of Purpose (found on the page preceding the Table of Contents), this book was written for "The Forgotten Painter". The authors use this term to describe artists who fall in the middle between the extremes of the professional painter and the "dabbler".
Lead author Helen Van Wyk began painting at the age of 12 and started teaching painting at the age of 17. She began her writing collaboration with co-author Allie Waters Cassel, one of her students, in 1957. Van Wyk became well known to a later generation through her PBS television series "Welcome To My Studio". She died in 1994, at the age of 64.
