Splash 10: Passionate Brushstrokes: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Splash 10: Passionate Brushstrokes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Featured artist Jerry Stitt contemplates that A painting is good not because it looks like something, but because it feels like something. The difference is passion the kind of energy, excitement and pure joy that pulses through every page of this book.
A brilliant collection of the best watercolors being created today, Splash 10 explores passion through the work and words of 100 top contemporary painters. With each modern-day masterpiece, insightful firsthand commentary taps into the psyche of the artists to explore where their passion comes from, and where it leads them.
These artists find the passion to paint in any number of places - a handful of peppermints, a rescued dog named Tugboat, visits to places where even the walls have personality, and spectacular moments created by the warm late-afternoon sun partnering with rich, cool cast shadows. Some of them find passion in their materials (like rice paper) or in the very act of putting paint to paper, whether it be broad, wet strokes of pure color applied with big brushes and arm-swinging applications, or meditative, economical strokes.
This edition of Splash is dedicated to discovering not only how todays artists create great watercolors, but what motivates them to be creative, work in this amazing medium, and portray the subjects they love.

Much gratitude and credit goes to the editors, designers and staff at North Light Books who have done the work needed to make this into a beautiful book, including Megan Milstead, Sarah Laichas, Jennifer Hoffman, Vicki Adang, Roseann Biederman and Matt Wagner. There are many detailed stages to the creation of this book and many individual parts that have to be brought together. It is a job that takes a village. Special thanks to Vanessa Lyman who has partnered with me from the beginning.
Another special thanks to the contributing artists, without whom this would be a rather dull white book! Your beautiful creations, as well as your unusually generous and friendly approach to life, make you a very special bunch indeed. Arent you glad there is no forced retirement age for artists? Some of you are still going strong into your eighties and show no sign of putting down the brush!
