Culture Story: Comforting watercolor drawings for those tired from everyday fuss

This world is flushing our brain with tons of junk information daily and sometimes you just want to get away from everything, take a full breath and rest your eyes on something calm, causing no irritation and discomfort.

The best relaxation for the mind and sight is to dive in the world of art. In this article we've collected works of such watercolorist, that will fill you with quietness and give you a gulp of fresh air in a hot city day.

Beautiful cityscapes by Thierry Duval

Born in Paris, Thierry Duval traveled a lot. This is where series of "geographically distinguished" pictures come from. Nevertheless, the author's favourite place has always been Paris. Vast majority of his works is devoted to the city of love. Duval paints in watercolor only. With this, he has his own special technique of multilayer paint drawing. That allows him to create pictures with almost hyperreal detailed elaboration.

Evening quietness of Joseph Zbukvic

Today Joseph Zbukvic, an australian born in Croatia, is regarded as one of the icons of watercolor painting in the world. The painter fell in love with watercolor literally from the first stroke. He was amazed by the tameless and uniqie nature of this technique. He believes it lives its own life. There is no way to study it, there is no way to control watercolor's behaviour. You can only break it in as a wild horse. And do it every day.

Amazing! They didn't load the first time but if at first you don't succeed, try, try again...and it worked!

Agnes Forder

No pictures - just lovely ads.

Lourdes Ayala

The painting techniques were quite different but most beautiful in their own way.

Linda Spreng

Very nice art.

Alice McKay

Beautiful! I personally would like to see more art out in nature or a rural area.

Amar Dhillon

Lovely work of art. And, ever so soothing. For me the ‘pheasant’s mornings’ were the best.

Cynthia Campbell

I have noticed that I seem to be drawn to watercolors over oil paintings

Dixie Heller

The pictures are lovely and are so peaceful to look at. My deceased husband was a painter and so this is why I appreciate the art and the artists' expression of what they see!

Ian Swindale

all of them are magnificent. if you hadn't said the chap who did the Parisian scenes had actually painted them I would have said they were photos.

Cathie Roth Lonnquist

All of the works pictured show incredible talent but my favorite was the french painter The one with the spring colors and I love that you can tell it's a water color painting. I also liked the water colors of the Japanese painter. The other artists were superb but I just don't likke the genre.
