︎ Supriya Kharod: Contemporary Watercolor Artist

Impressionist Paintings


What I learned from the Impressionist Masters is how to trick the viewer’s brain into thinking a subject looks real from a distance, just from how it is painted. So, my contemporary scenes are designed to be hung on the far side of a room, so they attract the viewer in for a closer look. These paintings literally pull people into a space.
