The "other" category of watercolors encompasses a wide range of subject matter, and an equally wide range of impressionistic styles to represent them. Swirling koi offered a colorful subject. Still life was prominent in Sverdlove's art, particularly persimmons and pomegranates. Pomegranates are mentioned in the Old Testament as native to Israel, and an Israeli agency asked permission to use her depiction of pomegranates in their posters. Fishing boats with their netting equipment fascinated her. The people at farmers markets picking over fruits were another topic.

The "other" category of watercolors includes a wide range of eclectic topics. Quite a number of impressionist still life watercolors with fruit and flowers and other objects. Of particular note was the recurrence of persimmons and pomegranates, whose color, texture and shape resonated with the artist's impressionistic approach. Waves provided a motif for impressionist interpretation.
