P r e f a c e.
At the request of your moderator, Karin Wells,I would like to charm you with a small watercolor portrait of a nice little girl. I wish I could unveil the secret and a trick for a successful portrait but this is not the case.
My way of painting is a result of looking, analyzing and rendering during years of practice, and starting over again and again. I started as an oil painter doing fine work, and then slowly switched over to watercoloring, always searching and trying to get a more direct and spontaneous rendering on paper. My aim is to transfer as much as possible with very little means.
If you should wish to see more of my works and read about my workshops and/or shows, please visit my site at
