Scenes like this continuously appears in my thoughts, almost subliminal... these images were imprinted like screen savers in my head. May be because when I was a kid, I'm a wanderer, I used to go alone by myself, and I usually got lost. I'm always curious what is beneath and what's behind, and what was there on the other side. With these adventurous spirit which developed persistently over the years, resulted a keen eye to discover life to the fullest. Only now I realize that to be a good presenter (artist) you have to be a good observer too.


In watercolor painting you will never go wrong if you do a sketch of your subject first. Through these preliminary studies you can arranged your composition and planned ahead how you will tackle the possible difficulties you will encounter in the actual execution. The medium is indeed difficult to tame, but with keen planning, plus the passion to deliver it, one can master and overcome one's fear of the medium.
