behind the curtain II (2019) Malerei von Tatjana Schmidt

I am self-taught watercolor artist & urbansketcher.

Watercolor is my favorite medium because of its unpredictability. Sometimes I can control it, sometimes not. Watercolor surprises me but never disappoints. But only if I use good paper.

Since my childhood, watercolor has always been the most accessible material. I tried different painting materials like coloured pencils, pastels, oil and acrylic. 

To be honest, I don't remember how and why I started with watercolour painting. Maybe because of the opinion that watercolor is most difficult painting technique. Or maybe because my family said oil smelled really bad.

My inspiration comes from nature, animals and various objects around me. Sometimes a certain perspective or a special exposure is already enough for the idea for a new picture. That’s why my favourite subjects are animal portraits or scenes and still lifes.
