Light in Watercolor creates drama, establishes mood and illuminates the meaning of the art itself. Splash 7:A Celebration of Light illustrates these properties with some of the finest watercolour work available. Artists will find over 120 paintings from some of today's finest painters, including Nita Engle, Ann Pember and Pat Weaver. Each piece provides fascinating insights into the subject of each painting and the methods to render it. It's a new way of looking at light - and powerful inspiration. More than seventy painters celebrate the glory of light, demonstrating how it enriches settings, captures spontaneous moods and reveals nature's beauty.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
As prolific editor and artist Wolf rightly notes, "Light elicits a host of reactions from us humans. Light is also the foundation for art. Without light there is no contrast, no color, no vision. Certainly, light's primacy and symbolic power make it the most compelling subject for the visual artist." Here, Wolf bears out her argument with 124 stunning examples by 95 artists, who also append brief statements about each work. This is an inspiring, visually rich volume but certainly not an essential purchase if one owns Wolf's previous volume on the same subject, Splash 4: The Splendor of Light. Either is a good choice for advanced artists. For artists seeking detailed instruction on the techniques of creating the ephemeral effects of light, see Patricia Monahan's Light in Watercolour.

Inspiration for the Artist,

This review is from: Splash 7: A Celebration of Light (Hardcover)
Rachel Rubin Wolf puts together another exciting and stimulating collection of recent watercolor works and the artists.
Not a how to paint with watercolor book, rather each artist tells about how they achieved the painting, what inspired them, perhaps an obstacle they had to work around. Some of the works are incredible and some make you realize maybe you are a better artist than you thought. Both perspectives in the book make me want to try my hand at another painting.

I find these Splash series to be of great help in formulating my own painting style. The artists' commentary on their own work is thought provoking, as well as beautiful and inspirational.
