A graduate from the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, Konstantine Sterkhov has been serving his vocation as a watercolorist for over 20 years. He is a member of the Artist Union of Russia, St. Petersburg Watercolor Society and Finnish Watercolor society. Konstantin collaborates with world-leading art suppliers and manufacturers. He has created over 50 video courses over the last 10 years, including a free series for his blog subscribers. He is a front man with the online art school, Artefacto. 

Watercolor lovers all over the world appreciate his book series, Masters of Watercolor, with interviews featuring the world’s leading water media artists. Connoisseurs of painting think much of his psychological portraits and lyrical landscapes with water space and all it embodies – from a vast raging sea or sparkling reflections in a city pool, to a quiet forest lake.

As a watercolorist, Konstantin is constantly experimenting, finding new ways of explaining how to master the water element. As a tireless traveler, Konstantin often visits different countries – sometimes as a workshop leader, a member of an exhibition, or as a jury board member at an international exhibition.
