Enjoy this demo with 賽巴斯蒂安·托門 to learn how he creates his beautiful watercolor art.

Here’s a quick Q&A with Sebastian:

為什麼創作藝術？
I’ve always had an innate desire to create. I love acting in theatre and also making films. I can’t do that everyday but Watercolour I can.

你畫畫多久了？
When I was around 14 I was given a box of paints and some brushes along with a “Frank Clarke – Simply Painting’” VHS (by the wife of a neighbour and friend who passed away unexpectedly). That’s when I started watercolour 26 years ago. I’ve only become obsessed with it these past 5 years.

你接受過正規的藝術訓練嗎？
No, Just books.

你是職業藝術家還是業餘愛好者？
Working.

你從誰或什麼事物中汲取靈感？
I’m inspired by Zbukvic and Castagnet, along with hundreds of others on Instagram but I’m mainly inspired by nature and man made objects that dwell in it.

你畫畫的時候喜歡聽什麼類型的音樂？
I’ve been happily painting alongside Neil Young recently!

你有沒有過導師？
I’ve had a few workshops, live with Alvaro in Amsterdam and Nicolas Lopez in Prague and also Andy Evansen online during lockdown.

你每天都畫畫嗎？
是的。.

你是一次只畫一幅畫，還是同時畫好幾幅？
Mainly one at a time but sometimes a few at once when I’m in the mood.

你會先創作概念作品嗎？
No, I go straight into it but I do create Value Studies for complicated scenes to help with composition.

你喜歡在畫室畫畫還是在戶外寫生？
Plain Air all the way. I love being outside and I’m lucky I have a campervan with an awning to protect me from the Irish rain.

你們使用了多少種核心色？
4 at the moment. Cobalt, Ultra, Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre. Tubes, pans or sticks? Tubes mainly.

你使用遮蔽液嗎？
不。.

你如何判斷你的作品是否完成？
I listen to my gut.
