Lake Garda
Famous for his stiff, posh portraits, John Singer Sargent let his hair down with this breezy watercolor of Italy's Lake Garda. Notice how he captures the dazzling Mediterranean sunlight bouncing off the rippling water? He uses quick, confident strokes and lets the white of the paper shine through to create that blinding brightness on the boat's sail, making it feel like a snapshot of a lazy, sun-drenched afternoon.
