When life; or the spirit of experimentation; or the whim of watercolor itself leads artists outside their comfort zone; conditions are favorable for something new and wonderful to happen. Splash 11: New Directions features 126 such somethings; representing the best watercolor work being created today.As intriguing as the paintings themselves; the artists talk about what inspired these new directions - anything from a trip around the world to a bowl of apples passed by a hundred times before. Find out how a workshop; a new brush; or a new perspective (like painting into the sun) injected these works with fresh energy; emotion and inner reflection.In true Splash tradition; the sheer diversity of work within is stunning - from thick; dark and dramatic to light; loose and washy . . . in some cases all in the same piece. Youll find work from favorite Splash watercolorists; along with quite a few new artists never before seen in print.Anyone who has a passion for art will appreciate the thrill of discovery and freshness of technique that fills these pages. For painters who aspire to keep their own art lives fresh and exciting; this work - and the stories behind it - offer powerful inspiration to change it up; stand in a new place; and paint that painting you think you cant.

Load of rubbishBy PhotomadThis book is an absolute waste of money. I bought this because I enjoyed her other book "Travel Photography" which is quite good but this book is probably the worst I have bought.The information is out of date and wrong in quite a few sections. Worst of all the photography is probably the worst I have seen and is printed very poorly. Based on this I dont know how she got where she is. Money spent better elsewhere.
