لوحات مائية رائعة للفنانSterling Edwards
Sterling Edwards is a contemporary watercolorist born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1951.
At the age of twelve, he was enrolled in oil painting classes after his parents noticed
that he had a natural ability to draw. Once introduced into the world of art, Sterling
began experimenting with every medium at his disposal. In 1985 he began studying
transparent watercolors and was immediately captivated by the freshness and luminosity
of the medium. Influenced by watercolor master Zoltan Szabo, Sterling spent several years
developing his own unique style of painting with watercolors. Interpretations of natural
settings are the subject of the majority of his paintings. Using mostly large brushes,
Sterling focuses on the design of the subject and begins a process of conveying his thoughts
and interpretations with stylized shapes, bold lights and darks, and dramatic color rhythms.
The result is an expressive and sometimes abstract rendering that allows the viewer to see
a small part of the world through Sterling's eyes.
In 1993 Sterling began teaching his style of painting to watercolor artists of all skill
levels. As his reputation as a watercolor artist and teacher rapidly grew, he was
requested to conduct watercolor workshops throughout the United States and Canada.
He was a featured artist in the Fall, 2001 issue of Watercolor Magic magazine in
an article titled "Ones to Watch," and has been featured in numerous newspaper articles.
In 2007, he was elected as a signature member of the Canadian Society of Painters in
Watercolour. Sterling's paintings are in private and corporate collections worldwide and
he is represented by several galleries in the U.S. and Canada.. He works from his home
studio in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Artist's Statement
"As a visual artist, I am constantly stimulated by the never ending variety of shapes and
colors that surround us. It's not enough just to replicate what I see but rather to interpret.
Combining form with color relationships and bold values I feel compelled to express my thoughts
and emotions with strong, and often stylized, shapes. What I feel about the subject draws me to
the brush. I have painted the monumental to the insignificant, each with equal passion. It all
begins with an idea and a burning passion to create and express. That is the true artist.
Everything else is merely technique."
