Artist's note: "Starting on this painting, I had just gotten a new roll of watercolor paper. This paper was behaving very strangely and didn’t blend the colors the way it should’ve. Very soon I found out I had been sent wrong paper and the roll was replaced. Still, I managed to finish this owl pretty much the way I wanted. It was a definite out-of-my-comfort-zone experience and once I received the correct watercolor paper, painting on it was easier than ever."

Artist's note: "This is one of the early paintings of my official artist career and I did not yet have the confidence to create something more ambitious and imaginative. I had a great fear for failure when I was creating this artwork and felt nervous while painting. If I were to re-create this painting now, I’d make the tail of the peacock larger in size and more complex in detail."

Artist's note: "This painting was one of the very first large-scale artworks I ever created and was a real patience-test for me.

Artist's note: "I originally wanted to make this horse a lot lighter, almost white, but he ended up quite deep blue instead. This painting taught me a very important lesson when it comes to watercoloring; always paint the first layer very light because, when it comes to watercolor, it’s easy to go darker, but very hard (sometimes impossible) to go lighter once the color has been put on the paper."
