Snippets of Real Life in Watercolor Paintings

French artist Thierry Duval has a passion for arts that reaches back, from when he was a child.  These amazing watercolours don't look like most of the ones we see out there, they have a definitive Photo Realistic look.  The other amazing thing about Duval's art, is the amount of detail he manages to inject into paintings that are not that big in size.  Amazing eye for detail and the capacity to make the watercolours reflect, lighten and darken his beautiful scenery, make these paintings look like, snippets of real life.  If you look at the "The lights of Montmartre" above or below the bigger scale one, Duval reproduces the art pieces for sale out of the shop.

Dreams Started, with Watercolor Paintings

Polish Artist Grzegorz Chudy aka sanderus, has many interests and a varied life as he is a Teacher, Musician and a Watercolor Painter. The last one, is the one we are going to concentrate on, today.  Chudy was born during what he refers to as, martial law in Poland, a difficult time that has had an influence on his art and his need to express it in his paintings.  His watercolors have a dreamlike quality, as not every part of the painting is in focus, with some sections of it, depicting an almost smoky effect.
