"In my daily life, I often feel impatient to do anything,

However, once I picked up the brush, for some reason, I was able to keep painting.

It's a very peculiar feeling. ”

"I didn't have any training in painting at a vocational school, and I didn't have a teacher to teach me how to draw.

It's all self-taught. This can be a detour for learning to draw,

But I think it's a good thing to pursue my unique style ...... painting. ”

These watercolor paintings are so realistic and beautiful that they are as real as photographs.

It's hard to believe that they came from someone who had never been trained to paint.

Masato Watanabe, a highly regarded watercolorist and illustrator in Japan.

Born in 1954 in Ashiya, Japan, his works are known for their delicate and beautiful colors, as well as their profound expressions of everyday life.

When he exhibits his works, you feel that his brushes are like a palette of years.

Render all the ordinary things in daily life into a picture full of warmth, tranquility and peace......

In his paintings, you can always feel a beauty that transcends reality. His works are both realistic and have a strong literary atmosphere,

It is like a poem that leads people into a dreamy and tranquil world. He admits that the tranquility shown in his paintings is a true portrayal of the peace of mind he pursues in life.

In addition to his exquisite technique, Masato Watanabe's watercolor paintings have also attracted attention for their unique creative themes.

He is passionate about depicting Japanese street scenes, and through the medium of watercolor, he freezes those ordinary and beautiful moments onto canvas.

The bicycle that appears frequently in the paintings has become one of his representative elements. For him, it is not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of travel.

In Masato Watanabe's paintings, bicycles are often parked leisurely in the streets and alleys, as if they are ready to leave at any time, giving people a sense of freedom and joy.

Travel occupies an important place in Watanabe's paintings. He likes to express the beauty of travel through his paintbrush.

As a result, the bicycle became his companion on his journey, carrying him through the hustle and bustle of the city and roaming in the lap of nature. In his works, there is not only the hustle and bustle of the city, but also the tranquility of the countryside.

It's as if every trip is a baptism of the soul. His works make us feel as if we can embark on a journey of our own and feel the charm of travel.

Perhaps because his father was an architect, Watanabe Masato had a special affection for cities and architecture. In his paintings, delicate depictions of buildings can often be seen. However, contrary to his father's expectations, he chose to become an illustrator. In his father's studio, he recalls, he could see all sorts of architectural drawings and perspectives. Although he did not understand the content of these drawings at the time, he subtly cultivated a sensitivity to detail and structure. Today, he is able to bring the beauty of the city and the countryside to life on canvas with a unique perspective and a delicate approach. His works not only make people feel the charm of architecture, but also give us a deeper understanding of his unique vision of life, freedom and beauty.

In short, whether it is a bustling city or a quiet countryside, Watanabe's watercolor paintings can always be displayed on the canvas with a unique perspective and delicate technique, presenting a kind of spiritual communication across time and space. So, do you like watercolors like this?
