2018 has been an awesome year for me. It was the 3rd year of my still growing passion for watercolor painting and I am so grateful that I discovered this wonderful medium for me. And I am so happy that I was able to meet so many nice people who share this passion that almost became a kind of addiction for me – the best addiction I can imagine.
I met watercolorists in the beautiful medival town of Quedlinburg to paint plein-air for a few days, I explored wonderful watercolors from all over the world at the international festival FabrianoInAcquarello in Italy. I have been invited to make a public painting demo for the festival audience there what was probably the greatest moment of this year. My paintings have been jury selected for other international festivals in Prague, Krakow and Ajdovscina and could show a selection of my artworks to a great audience at the gallery Mühle Malstedt. All that was really amazing.
Three years of (almost) daily watercolor painting may sound a lot but it is nothing on the long road to watercolor mastery. I am excited to see what the coming years will have for me. A lot to learn – that is for sure.
In this book I collected everything I painted this year 2018: watercolors, miniatures and sketches. I hope you will enjoy.
