3-dimensional watercolor painting

"Three-dimensionality comes naturally to me as an architect by profession, and 3-dimensional watercolor painting has felt like a natural step forward in my development as a watercolorist. Watercolor paper is firm and stable, but when wet it becomes malleable. For the past 15 years, I have devoted myself to exploring the possibilities of shaping watercolor paper sculpturally – into reliefs and double-sided sculptures in box frames." – Peter Schalin
