5.0 out of 5 stars A kick-start for watercolor artists!, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
This book is a celebration of color and the watercolor medium. Turning the pages is like watching a fabulous fireworks display. Each page reveals another explosion of beautiful color painting. Like fireworks, some paintings go off with a huge bang, and others are more muted; but each painting has something to say -- there are no "duds." Helpful comments by the artists give insight as to how and why each painting was done. If you're an artist looking for inspiration, this book can really give you a whack in the side of the head that will send you running to your paints. Even if you're not an artist, you'll enjoy the gorgeous colors and wide, wild variety of subjects and techniques. An astonishing book and well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Technique, May 13, 2008
By Terri J. Rice "ricepaper" (Pasco, WA United States) - See all my reviews
  
If you are looking for a Splash edition that has a smattering of everything; this is the one. Cats up close, pears in a still life, cows, street scenes. This is the fifth in a series of watercolor books that feature various artists and their work.

With this book you get beautiful color photos of the art along with a little bit about the piece followed by "technique" which tells you what they did to achieve the particular look. For example: "I use Golden fluid acrylics mixed with whatever is nearby, such as pastel, ink, crayon, alcohol, etc. After blocking out what I want to save with frisket, I splash color on with a wide brush."

As always with the Splash books, this too is inspiring, but I especially like the technique explained in this one.
