Watercolor Explorations

Discovering new techniques, inspired by others, embracing a journey of artistic growth

Watercolor studies


Welcome to my "Explorations" page, a collection of watercolor studies created as part of my ongoing artistic journey. These pieces represent my exploration of different techniques, subjects, and styles, inspired by the work of other artists and the learning experiences I've encountered along the way. As I navigate the complexities of watercolor, I find myself drawn to a diverse range of inspirations, from the delicate brushstrokes of the Impressionists to the bold compositions of contemporary masters. In workshops and online courses, I've had the privilege of learning from talented instructors who have shared their expertise and encouraged me to push the boundaries of my own creativity.

These "Explorations" are not merely copies or imitations, but rather, interpretations through my own lens. Each study represents a deliberate attempt to understand and master a specific aspect of watercolor painting, whether it's capturing the nuances of light and shadow, mastering the art of wet-on-wet blending, or exploring the expressive potential of different brushstrokes.

In these pieces, you'll see the raw, unfiltered energy of the creative process, the experimentation, and the moments of discovery that often lead to breakthroughs in my artistic practice.

While these studies may not be as polished or original as my main "Art Projects", they offer a glimpse into my creative process and the dedication I put into honing my craft. I see them as valuable stepping stones, each one contributing to my growth as an artist and informing the direction of my future work.

If you find a piece that resonates with you and would like to bring it into your home, please inquire – I'm happy to offer these studies at a reduced price to cover the cost of materials. By acquiring one of these "Explorations," you're not just purchasing a painting; you're supporting my artistic journey and becoming a part of the story behind my art.
