Mentorship Philosophy
"When I paint water, I’m not only capturing reflections or waves, I'm expressing rhythm, silence, and movement. In this mentorship,I’ll take you inside that process.
Over 4 live sessions, we’ll create a watercolor series together – one painting per session – each exploring a unique aspect of water: calm reflections, flowing rivers, atmospheric cityscapes, and dramatic seascapes.
I’ll demonstrate every step live, and you’ll paint alongside me. But more importantly, I’ll give you personal guidance on your own work to help you see, feel, and think more like an artist.
If you're ready to move beyond technique and into authorship, I’d be honored to walk that path with you”.

The Program of Mentorship
Date of start: September 2025
Over 15 weeks, you’ll create a 4-piece watercolor series on the theme of water, guided by Pablo Rubén. Every session includes a full demonstration, Q&A, and feedback on selected student works.
Session 1. Calm Surface: Mastering the Depiction of Still Water and Reflections
In this foundational session, you will learn how to achieve control and clarity through calm, precise watercolor techniques.
Learn to handle large, even washes without streaks or blooms
Practice creating subtle gradients to represent depth and tranquility
Study how light interacts with still water to produce crisp, mirror-like reflections
Compose peaceful, horizontal scenes that evoke serenity and balance
Session 2. Living Flow: Depictions of flow and movement in rivers and streams
This session introduces motion into your watercolor work, focusing on the energy and rhythm of moving water.
- Explore techniques for painting ripples, cascades, and flowing lines with expressive brushwork
- Learn to create believable textures that suggest speed and turbulence
- Understand the visual patterns and directional flow that guide the viewer’s eye
- Combine control with spontaneity to convey life and dynamism
Session 3. City Mirror: Rain, Puddles and the Glow of City Lights
A deep dive into urban mood and atmosphere, this session merges light, texture, and complexity.
- Master how to render streets with layered reflections and soft glows
- Create a sense of depth through tonal layering and edge control
- Use color shifts and gradients to suggest artificial light and moody ambiance
- Balance detail and abstraction in a city scene without overworking
Session 4. Endless Space: Composition of Atmospheric Seascapes and Dramatic Skies
In this culminating session, you will tackle large-scale, emotionally charged scenes that test everything learned so far.
- Compose with intention: from horizon placement to cloud dynamics and wave structure
- Push tonal contrast to create drama and tension between sea and sky
- Use color temperature, scale, and minimalism to evoke vastness and emotion
- Refine your artistic voice through personal interpretation and bolder choices
"Water is not merely a subject – it's an emotional language"
