"Watercolor is undeniably magical; its enchantment lies not in certainty but in the natural flow of water. I believe the formula for the magic of watercolor is found in its effortlessness. Nobody is interested in your struggle; let it remain behind the frame. Instead, showcase the spontaneous flow of watercolor in your washes, revealing how each stroke coincidentally finds its precise place. Happy accidents may not be entirely accidental after all."

Konstantin Sterkhov, 2023
