I am a watercolour artist from Indonesia, having an educational background as a chemical engineer and having a partial colorblindness, i start to draw and paint selftaught since 2015.
Finding watercolor as the most interesting medium and realizing that this medium on paper might be the medium that can bring the painting alive in longer time compare to other medium, strive me to explore it to it's far away side.
Become a member of International Watercolor Society since 2019 and attending several exhibiton both locally and internationally.
Mainly focus on landscape and urbanscape for my artwork since nature/urban subjects always give me an enourmous feeling of how a simple shape,pattern, and ambience of a landscape give us relaxing, breathtaking , or even sometimes a mesmerizing view.
You can see my journey on the watercolor medium on my Instagram @iamwirasuputra
