Watercolour With Miraj
About
I prefer to work from live models, still life setups and plein air painting rather than from photographs; though a good balance of both can be very useful. I believe working from life adds a spontaneity and growth that cannot be achieved from in-studio work alone. Practicing "in the field" allows the student to develop problem solving techniques that can later be applied to working from photo references especially when it comes to 5e watercolor medium.
I cannot imagine life any other way; my calling is to be an artist and to expressive my self through the watercolor medium. I am in love with the philosophies of art and of water and I look forward to sharing that knowledge with those who allow themselves to be taught.
