There's something about watercolors as an art material that is so unreliable and uncontrollable -- the drips and drops can creep up at any minute.
But the artists in this collection of wondrous watercolors, from prismatic ponchos to gloomy fashion illustrations to wacky watercolor masterpieces, have certainly mastered their work for all to adore.
Implications - As the digital images become the new norm of society, there is a resurgence of nostalgia that occurs at the sight of watercolor art. As audiences become accustomed to seeing the clean lines and intriguing effects of computer generated works, artists that create works with a watercolor feel provide a breath of fresh air.
