Watercolor is my mother tongue. I love the subtle hues of a wash, the sharp point of a brush and smell of fresh paint. They all resonate in me like the power of a speech or the softness of a whisper. This universal language is spoken all across the globe. I like to hear all sorts of accents, like the richness of an Australian accent or the joyful tone of an Indian one. Although I hope I can convince you of my fluency, I still have a lot to learn! Viewer, customer, peer, I wish my page gives you the information you seek. Enjoy!
