Watercolor for me is something I am addicted to. Since I started to paint with watercolor when I was 20 years old, I hardly ever paint with something else. I love the transparency and the colours merge into each other. No other material has that effect. Every time it is a challenge to control the water and the pigments and I love it
 
I love being in Fabriano where watercolour painters from all over the world meeting each other and exchange experiences and technics with each other. Painters  are not like musicians performing in a group but in the silence of their Studio’s so it is a great opportunity to meet each other and find out that we all are speaking the same language.
