Watch me paint!

This video offers you a glimpse into the difficult art of watercolor. Stretching the paper is necessary to flatten it and avoid buckles. I use special water activated, acid free tape.

What you don’t see in the video is that I am in a very calm state and I think about the words which will be the title of the painting. This neutral state allows me to balance the control of water and its randomness: it’s a play, or a dance.

Also, I believe that starting in a meditative state leaves more space for the emotion and the imagination of the viewer!
