Added 1 new A* page:Today I came across a site with a very large collection of watercolor paintings by John Singer Sargent; in the States at least he's primarily known for his monumental oil portraits, I think, but he also did quite a bit of watercolor work, and his later stuff got really impressive; two pages of the collection with some good examples are here and here; I collected some of my favorites over on my tumblr.
If you're interested in more contemporary stuff, you might enjoy French illustrator Marguerite Sauvage's (warning: some artistic nudity, behind thumbnails) illustration porfolio; I love her graceful/twitchy lines and fruity colors. This commercial illustration work of hers is a few years old now; in the past few years she's been doing super-hero comic work for Marvel (check out her short story with writer Noelle Stevenson in Thor Annual #1 (2015), for instance (sample)) and DC (Bombshells).
