a few years ago my dad started painting. as an urban designer he’s always had a pencil in his hand, but he never had the time to flex his creative muscles outside of work. he began experimenting with various mediums, and quickly settled on watercolour painting. i warned him that it was a tough medium – it might look deceptively easy when you see the finished product but actually getting there is, well, an art. there’s no real room for error, unlike oil painting where you can layer and even remove paint if you’ve made a mistake.

but my dad took the challenge head on, and he’s getting better and better with each painting and every mistake. that’s why i admire watercolourists so much, especially those who manage to create a striking piece with just a few masterful brush strokes. it probably takes years of dedication and practise to get to the point where you can easily manipulate that finicky combination of water and paint.

the watercolour paintings of Serbian artist Endre Penovác caught my eye for this exact reason – especially his awesome paintings of cats (which he does in both watercolour and ink). his repertoire is obviously not just limited to felines, Penovác also works in other mediums and explores a variety of subject matters. you can see more of his work on his Facebook page and website.
