The most important lesson I\u2019ve learned is not to be afraid of the water\u2014after all, watercolor is a water-based medium. I learned to work with a lot of pigment and water, embracing the fluidity and spontaneity that make watercolor so unique. Yes, I work with other mediums as well, but I always strive to capture a watercolor-like impression and feeling in them, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ve traveled and painted in many countries, but Italy is my greatest love.

I just know when a scene will make a good watercolor painting.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> Whenever possible, I make quick sketches and take notes on-site to capture the essence of my subject. I also take many photos to refine my work in the studio, always leaving room for improvisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Watercolor is a medium that demands flexibility and openness to unexpected results, making each painting a unique experience. I always teach my students the importance of practicing value studies. That way, when they have the opportunity to paint outdoors, they are already prepared and have a clear idea of their sketch, thanks to their prior practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theartistsroad.net\/custom\/sofroniev\/Oxide%20Living%20WC%20Svetlin%20Sofroniev.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Oxide Living, Watercolor \u00a9 Svetlin Sofroniev\" title=\"Oxide Living, Watercolor \u00a9 Svetlin Sofroniev\" width=\"500\" height=\"368\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Oxide Living\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Watercolor<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theartistsroad.net\/custom\/sofroniev\/Rusty%20Cage%20WC%20Svetlin%20Sofroniev.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Rusty Cage, Watercolor, \u00a9 Svetlin Sofroniev\" title=\"Rusty Cage, Watercolor, \u00a9 Svetlin Sofroniev\" width=\"397\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" \/><br \/>Rusty Cage\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Watercolor<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0\u00a0 I love working with old, vintage and handmade papers because they are usually of exceptional quality and produce beautifully unpredictable results.
