    • Akvarel je díky své jedinečné citlivosti a transparentnosti umožňující zachytit ty nejprchavější a nejpomíjivější okamžiky v přírodě možná nejpopulárnějším kreslířským médiem. Tekutý charakter akvarelu z něj dělá také médium vzrušující a nepředvídatelné. Pro nezkušeného malíře může být tento prvek nejistoty zprvu zneklidňující, ovšem výsledkem bázlivého a opatrného přístupu může být naopak jen slabé, bezduché a standardní dílo. Tajemství úspěchu akvarelové malby spočívá v energické práci a sebedůvěře. Jakmile se jednou naučíte uvolnit a popustit si otěže, zjistíte s potěšením, jak velmi často udělá barva práci za vás - někdy bývá nejzajímavější a nejnádhernějších účinků dosaženo kombinací výtvarného záměru a prosté náhody. Akvarel může být občas iritující a frustrující, ale nikdy není nudný.
