Love the Light July 8, 2008
Each Splash book in Rachel Rubin Wolf's series has a specific theme; Splash 4 is about light.
109 watercolorists are represented in the book with their work in color and a small excerpt about their method, ideas, and execution of the painting. It is very inspiring and helpful to look at the array of paintings.
The light and shadows in this book are the highlight.
A dizzying array of art styles October 7, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ms Rubin Wolf is a master at assembling a dizzying array of various art styles. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately for me, I already know what I like - representative art with an eye toward good color harmony. I purchased the book hoping it would elevate my portrayal of light and shade. This book did not meet this quest.
A Splash of Inspiration April 26, 2000

This was the first Splash book I had seen and I've now purchased all of them. As a newby to watercolor I have to say this is the most inspiring book on watercolor I have ever seen. The book includes 109 different artist's and, true to the title, all pics display spectacular ways of dealing with light as the focal point of the painting. Whenever I'm stuck for an idea, a quick review of this book has me rushing for my paints.
