Why I started with watercolor


From a very young age, I had access to different paintings using various techniques, and particularly when I saw watercolorists' works, they evoked a special feeling in me.

In 2020, I began my journey into watercolor painting, learning to paint using wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques. I explored various techniques, including transparencies, fluidity, subtraction, dripping, and more, in different exercises. My works are inspired by landscapes, nature, old houses, and daily life.
