A very strict teacher

It was with watercolours that Fenix made his first serious attempts at painting. They turned out to be a perfect but very strict teacher. "You cannot make mistakes. Every brush stroke has to be right. It meant in the beginning I had to think very carefully about every step. Later on I learned to paint with more spontaneity. I learned to trust my skills. Depending on my mood and the subject I paint with many details or more roughly, which allows for sometimes very surprising results. Watercolours were my first love and we have grown more and more close over the years."
