Featured Artist:   Sterling Edwards
A day at the battery © 2007 Sterling Edwards "A day at the battery"    © Sterling Edwards
  Popular artist Sterling Edwards began teaching his style of painting to watercolor artists of all skill levels in 1993. As his reputation as a watercolor artist and teacher rapidly grew, he was requested to conduct watercolor workshops throughout the United States and Canada. In March, 2006, Sterling was chosen as one of the founding artists and part owner of Art Academy Live (click to visit).

"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."


  In 2007 Sterling was elected as a signature member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. Sterling's original paintings are in private and corporate collections worldwide and he is represented by several galleries. He works from his studio in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

© 2007 Joke Klootwijk


"My name is Joke Klootwijk. I have been painting since 1984 in Barendrecht, a village near Rotterdam. After various art studies my preferred medium is watercolour. My time is devoted to full time painting. I studied art classes and workshops for this technique, by artists whom I admire for their painting style.

The last several years I painted a lot of watercolour paintings in the so called wet-on-wet technique. A difficult but fascinating technique, where I have to react, observe and paint and all this needs to happen within a very short space of time. In the wet-on-wet technique I attack my work head on, with a few pencil lines on the watercolour paper. This make's it for me a very exciting challenge.

An always returning and inspiring theme in my paintings is 'reflection'."

Joke is a member of the Kvbkb of Belgium, and a member of the European Institute of Watercolours in Brussels and representative for the Netherlands. Visit Aquarelleren.nl for a look into Joke's expansive portfolio. She offers workshops and works with regional arts organizations, as well as accepting a limited amount of commissions.
