My mom forwarded this amazing watercolor artist to me yesterday, Joseph Zbukvic.  The atmosphere and detail he achieves with simple washes and a dry brush (for some edges) is incredible.  His work is truly inspiring and amazing to look at.  He’s one of those artists that surprises you with apparent detail achieved by such simple brushstrokes and application.  Be sure to click on one of the images above to see the rest of the work on his Web site.
