Picturesque souvenirs from the watercolor box! Capturing moods, sights, and feelings through artistic means has been the approach of artist Hans-Jürgen Gaudeck during his travels near and far, whether in Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa, or the USA, for many years. He employs watercolor painting as his technique to immortalize moments that catch his eye spontaneously, translating them onto paper with skilled brush strokes right on location. In this book, Gaudeck shares his experiences with this painting technique through selected watercolors, explaining his choice of motifs and his approach to the creative process. A brief introduction to materials and painting techniques rounds out the book. Those interested in painting will find ideas and inspiration in this book to capture atmospheric moments directly on paper with minimal means – creating special travel memories.
