Herman Pekel, from Melbourne in Australia, is an artist of energy and enthusiasm and produces award-winning work in watercolours, oils and gouache. He creates paintings of strong design and powerful impact – every brushstroke vibrant and visible. Environmental issues are a great concern to Herman and his love of the landscape is reflected in almost everything he paints.
Herman is the winner of many artistic awards and his work is featured in the books Australian Impressionists and Realist Artists, 120 Years of Watercolourist Artists, Galleries of Australia and New Zealand, and Profile on Contemporary Watercolours.
On Herman’s course you will unearth fresh and honest art inside yourself and learn to capture it with paint. He will teach you to find originality in your own work. You will get started with new ideas in a way that is fun and fast. You will learn about colour mixing, glazes, composition, drying time, sickness and edges to create an Impressionist painting you never thought possible with watercolour. Expect to be challenged to be brave -- and have fun! Although Herman will concentrate on watercolours during his course, he is happy to help with other mediums as well
