Paintings American artist Mike Kleimo it is better to consider when the weather outside the window leaves much to be desired, and the soul is cloudy, cold and short rains are expected. The fact is that the bright, multi-colored watercolors of this author are called sunny, radiating light and capable of creating a good mood and positive where they happen to be.
With his love of architecture and cityscapes, Mike Kleimo may pass for an architect, but no, he received a specialized education and a diploma from the College of California applied arts, and is professionally engaged in painting, giving preference to watercolor paints and deliberately careless, light style of drawing.
The works of this author resemble postcards or frames from cartoons. The grotesque style and the peculiar manner of painting indicate that the artist invented all these paintings and plots, even if he painted them from nature. This is one of those signs that make it possible not to confuse the paintings of Maike Kleimo with the works of other watercolorists. Another sign can be considered a peculiar method of applying paint. The artist does this in several stages, in several layers, in order to preserve the lightness and translucency of the watercolor and at the same time get enough bright, contrasting colors for which his paintings are famous. amazing pictures.
Artist, designer, illustrator, Maike Kleymo brings positive, joy and good mood with his paintings. So wonderful he sees the streets and squares of Seattle and San Miguel de Allende. Other works of the watercolorist can be seen on his website.
Japanese artist Abe Toshiyuki creates stunning watercolors filled with a special inner light. Perhaps, he can be called a real singer of nature, because his track record is almost exclusively landscapes.
The Japanese have always shown a deep love and respect for nature. This is clearly seen in painting. Paintings by Japanese masters often reflect the fragility and beauty of the world around them. To a large extent, this also applies to realistic scenery Abe Toshiyuki. “In my work, I focus on simple things, I try to reflect all the nuances inherent in them,” says the artist.
Toshiyuki says that when creating the next watercolor, he is very careful in choosing nature. “I avoid painting landscapes that are too hackneyed,” explains the artist, “so as not to evoke a sense of deja vu in the audience. It is important for me that art resonates deeply in the souls of people, touches them emotionally.”
Abe was born in Japan in 1959. He studied art at the National University, and then devoted about twenty years of his life to teaching. It wasn't until 2008 that Toshiyuki gave up his former profession to take up painting.
“I had ambitions, I always wanted to be an artist,” shares Toshiyuki, “which is why I left teaching to focus on painting. Today I work hard, I have several solo exhibitions in Japan behind me, and I have repeatedly received prestigious awards for my work.”
Another managed to tame watercolor famous artist, Russian, Arush Votsmushu. He is told about the beauty and diversity of the world around him.

Hello, dear colleagues and art lovers!
My master class is called "Watercolor Landscape".
Landscapes are performed in plein air classes, and have great importance, because they contribute to a visual and practical study of the laws of light-air perspective, the acquisition of new knowledge in the development of watercolor techniques and the methodological sequence of work.
We choose a landscape motif with water and learn how to paint a reflection.
There are two main watercolor techniques - glazing, or multi-layer painting, and "a la prima" - in a raw way, as well as numerous combined techniques derived from them, aimed at revealing the effect, multi-structure and imagery of the object.
We paint a landscape using the traditional technique of multi-layered painting. This technique involves the successive layering of paint layers after the previous layer has dried. Moreover, the first layers are transparent, the subsequent ones partially overlap them, gradually darken and saturate the color system of the work. You can not immediately write in dark and bright colors, since in the absence of white in watercolor, it is quite difficult to lighten something, and watercolor is a fresh, light, transparent material, which comes from the word “aqua”, which means water. The color is made up with a lot of water, so a round, squirrel brush is used, which holds water well, and watercolor paper absorbs it well.
Stages of work.
1. The motif of the landscape is not very complex, so we draw immediately with a brush, cold or warm color.
2. We perform a watercolor filling of the sky background with brush No. 6 from top to bottom, using ultramarine and ocher for this, since on a sunny day there are warm shades in the blue of the sky.
3. We close the bushes and banks of the river with light and warm green. Better if green color will be obtained as a result of mixing. As you know, in a watercolor box you are offered not colors, but paints. To get a color, you need to mix at least two paints.
4. In this study, the dominant colors are blue, brown, ocher, green. All subsequent stages of work are carried out on the dried previous layer. We determine the penumbra of the bush in the background.
5. We strengthen the penumbra of the second plan, given that the lighting is upper, and the bushes are large hemispherical volumes.
6. We write a reflection in the water. There is a very weak current in this river, so the reflection is almost a mirror image. As a rule, it is always darker and warmer than real objects. We write the reflection with vertical strokes, mirroring the shape of the bushes.
7. We write water, with the sky reflected in it, in a darker color.
8. We strengthen the coast of the foreground with brighter shades of green, not forgetting, however, about the transparency of the watercolor.
9. In the shade of the bushes, we are looking for shades of cold color. We begin to write spruces in the background. In relation to the shrub, they are much darker.
10. Ate dark, almost flat, as they are far away, we write them with a thinner brush.
11. Strengthen the shadow in the bushes and the water of the foreground, which gives a sense of space.
12. We show the reflection of fir trees in the water, we increase the contrast and color density in the reflection of the bushes.
13. We emphasize the branches in the bush, we refine the reflections of the first plan.
14. The sketch is ready. Success in creative work!
Watercolor is often called the most naughty, most capricious paint. It is difficult to work with it, it is difficult to store it, it is unpredictable and requires maximum concentration from the artist.
But those who managed to “conquer” and “tame” it know the secret of creating truly amazing works, looking at which you ask the only question: “Who did they sell their soul to draw like that?”Bright Side invites you to a gallery of truly atmospheric, bright and talented works. This is exactly what modern Art who is not ashamed to confess his love.
Sunny Landscapes by Faustino Martin Gonzalez
Spanish watercolorist Faustino Martin Gonzalez ( Faustino Martin Gonzalez) has a special passion for depicting the transitional states of nature: the change of seasons or time of day. In his paintings there is a lot of light, air, discreet calm colors prevail. This is watercolor in the classical sense: flowing colors, the triumph of emotions and moods.
The emotional realism of Steve Hanks
The faces of people in most of the artist's paintings are darkened or turned to the side. This is done in order to express emotions and for the body to "speak". “I have always tried to show the world only the positive moments of life. I hope that my work brings joy, peace and comfort to the life of the viewer,” says Hanks.
Anna Armona's Color Celebration
The young Ukrainian artist Anna Armona is literally in love with color, so her landscapes cannot be confused with anything. Armona writes very boldly, which gives expression to her work. Scattering splashes literally blow up each image, turning forests, paths and lakes into a fairy-tale kingdom.
Ghostly landscapes by Thomas Schaller
Architect and artist Tom Schaller, after his 20-year career as an architect in New York, settled in California, where he devotes his days to painting. For a long time he has been considered one of the best architectural landscape painters in the world. Schaller has received a huge number of prestigious prizes and awards for his artistic work.
Thierry Duval's watercolor travels
Paris-born artist Thierry Duval has traveled extensively. Hence the presence of entire series of paintings on a “geographical basis”. Nevertheless, the author's favorite place was and remains Paris. The lion's share of works is dedicated to the city of lovers. He has his own own equipment multi-layer watercolor application, which allows you to create paintings with almost hyper-realistic detail.
The magic of hyperrealism by Stanislav Zoladz
Hyperrealist Stanislaw Zoladz was born in 1952 in Poland, art education received at the Krakow Academy fine arts. He began painting with watercolors as a child and honed his skills over the course of years. Stanislav's works are dominated by natural views and light. Only rickety houses on the horizon, old boats, abandoned tractors remind of the presence of a person. The paintings are filled with peace and tranquility.
Dancing Cities by Bernhard Vogel
The word that best conveys the style of the Austrian master Bernhard Vogel is freedom. The main thing in his urban landscapes is not the authenticity of the transmission, but the integrity of the mood, expression, energy. The artist finds real inspiration when working with nature. He admits that great landscapes can be created from photographs and sketches in the comfort of a studio. But only work on the spot gives the pictures credibility.
Life in pink by Rita Zodke
Few artists use color and line as gracefully and delicately as the Vice President of the Academy does. Chinese painting Liu Maoshan. He manages in an amazing way to combine in his works the rigor of European classical painting, the airiness of modern impressionism and the refined detailing of Chinese landscape painting. Subtlety, lyricism and transparency are the main features of Maoshan's watercolors.
