This review is from: Watercolor Expressions: 123 Artists Create Moods with Brush and Paint (Hardcover)

This is a beautiful collection of watercolor paintings featuring a wide range of different subjects including nature, animals, people, landscapes and still lives. It will offer inspiration for years to come.

Each picture lists the artist, tile, size and paper used. A brief comment by the artist is also included. All images are placed one to a page. Contact information for each artist is included in the back.

Some of my favorite paintings include a colorful, energetic landscape titled the Blue Shadow Side by Harold Gregor and a portrait of four little girls of various ethnic backgrounds by Judithe Randall. I liked the whimsical mushroom piece called Magical Forest VIII by Jerry Little and the nostalgic tricycle by D. Denghausen. I also enjoyed a polar bear by Colleen Newport Stevens called Midnight on the Ice, done mostly with a wet-in-wet technique.

This book is a great addition to any watercolor artists or enthusiast's library. It also makes a great gift.

This is a book of many paintings by current day artists. It's fun to romp through its pages and see other artists work.
