I have been using my spare time recently to steal away to work on a few little watercolor paintings. When I stumbled upon the work of Polish artist and architect, Grzegorz Wróbel, I was completely inspired. His use of simple shades with complex detail is so beautiful. I love the way he uses water and watercolor paints to turn an ordinary street into a mystical and intriguing scene. So beautiful.
Look closely at the paintings. Even if you’re not a watercolor painter you’ll be able to see how much skill and planning goes into each of these. Grzegorz Wróbel even has a step by step example of his work, so you can see the whole process. So cool. Can you tell I’m a fan?
I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

Congrats on being selected for Freshly Pressed. Your blog site with WordPress is beautifully laid out. I attended the School of Art and Design (then called the School of Industrial Art) in the late 50’s in New York City. One of my art teachers was by the name of Routhbaum. She was an awesome water colorist, beside being the Assistant Principle of this School. Within two minutes she could paint the perfect portrait of anyone with simple water colors. I think of her often and the love of her work, as well as her students.

Sadly I cannot recall her first name. She cryed in front of her class when I signed out of class to leave school at 17 and join the Air Force. I was an honor student with a made scholarship to Pratt Institude in New York. Living as a kid in Harlem, just got too dangerous for me.

His choice of colours is very inspiring. Mixing warm colours with cooler ones can be very risky but Grzegorz Wroblewski has done it extraordinary well. I can see a whole load of emotion in his brush strokes and like I said before, his choice of colours makes the viewer very calm. Using a wet brush is also hard but as I’m sure that we can all see that he has mastered this technique! His art is moving and has everything that it should have!

I like them, I really do, but the whole work it’ so detailed, like photos. Photography and painting are not the same thing. I believe that a great watercolorist can give that difference. Check this link below and look the watercolor with the church at the left side. Can you see the deferense? That place exists, I ‘ve been there. There are better examples of that but I can’t find a link ..
Anyway, Grzegorz Wróbel knows how to bring an image on the paper but he doesn’t know how to give his personal view.

Good Morning. Thank you so much for bring Mr. Wrobel to our attention. Watercolor has always been my favorite medium and his work so clearly demonstrates why.
