I strongly believe that there is a child in each of us, who would love playing with colours.

I am a self taught watercolor artist , teaching watercolour painting to watercolour aspirants. I prefer preparing tutorial videos showing the process of simplification for photographs and painting from imagination so that we end up doing representation the subject in my own way.

As I learnt lot from Youtube, its my target to share my knowledge back on youtube by creating watercolors step by step, to encourage, inspire and guide viewers interested in learning watercolour.

    Thank you for sharing, I started sketching and watercolor during Covid. I have white but didn’t know how to use it. I also haven’t thought I could vary the hues and tones…I’ve been sketching and then coloring it in like a coloring book I guess. I am anxious to try what I’ve learned!

    you effortlessly recreated a street in a simple but powerful way. by the way, pencil or charcoal is generally used for sketching. But, you are using a black-ink fountain pen.

    Hmm its definitely inspiring to see how few splashes n loose lines could result in interesting shades n gradient. This is great n motivational for someone like me who gets overwhelmed seeing water colors. Can u show some similar approach for maybe acrylics n oil as well in the future 😮
