This volume of Splash is dedicated to those glorious sparks of inspiration  and the stories of how 129 artists fanned them into some of todays greatest watercolor paintings. The emotional connection between subject and artist resonates in these pages  delivering the caliber of art and insight that has made Splash a perennial favorite.   135 paintings  reproduced in large  juicy color  A diverse range of styles and subjects  including still lifes  portraits  city scenes  animals and landscapes  Commentary reveals the artists passion  approaches and techniques The artists spotlighted inside found inspiration in even unlikely places. They spotted it in peeling paint  the faces of strangers  and the view from the kitchen window. They found beauty in places as poetic as Paris  and as seemingly pedestrian as a dilapidated shed. From a hawk proudly posed against a cloudless  cerulean sky to an everyday table setting transformed by light into a kaleidoscope of color  these are the moments that stopped artists in their tracks  to create the kind of paintings that do the same.  \"Whatever made you hold your breath or turn your head the first time you saw it  that is what you should paint!\" --Kathleen Lanzoni\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651846070325,"sku":"ByrdShop_144034129X","price":36.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781440341298.jpg?v=1781842072","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/splash-17-inspiring-subjects-splash-the-best-of-watercolor-9781440341298","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
