My Journey as an Artist

Watercolor and story by Károl Palma

I've always been a creative person. I have sang, danced, played violin and drawn. But in 2019 I all of a sudden went to an art store and bought everything I needed to start watercolor painting. I had watched some videos and wanted to start painting. Since then I have been learning at what I would consider a slow but constant pace until now. And watercolor has become one of my favorite painting techniques along with oil.

Art is what I am called to do in life, so it is very important for me. It is a way of sharing, connecting and creating culture, and I want to do that right. I want to learn more about light and shadow, volume, nature painting and the different ways to bring an artwork to life that creates an impact. That brings challenges like being persevering, using time wisely to practice and finding resources to continue my learning process. That is why I would like to win this course, I think it is an amazing way to fill the gaps that I may have due to the lack of a consistent formation in painting. And I believe that the Watercolor Academy brings a lot of knowledge needed to perfect an artist's journey.

Voting for me through sharing this would help me get closer to developing the necessary abilities I need as an artist, specifically in the watercolor technique, so I encourage you to do it. Thank you so much.
