For years I thought there was only one way to make a good watercolour: follow the “rules” and try to copy what I admired. But at some point I realised that watercolour opens up when you allow more options — more approaches, more risks, more personal decisions.

A limited palette can give endless colour. A big brush can say more than ten small ones. A mistake can become atmosphere.

The more I paint, the more I see that watercolour isn’t about control — it’s about choices.
