About me

​Hello

 I am Alax Tharakan, based in Kerala, INDIA, I am focused solely on the watercolor painting medium.

​

I've painted on and off all my life. I love watercolor. Most say it's the hardest painting medium to use—if you mess up, it's done. I also love the spontaneity of watercolor and the pace at which we can perform, often being able to complete a painting in under 1 hour. Additionally, watercolor provides a sense of freshness, allows for the attempt to make each brush stroke work just right, and effectively expresses exactly what I want.

​

I have painted more energetically since about 2005 and try and do about 3-4 paintings a week. As regards subjects to paint, I love doing landscapes and life movements. Pretty much any scene in the world, as long as there is some visual delight. I try to get out and about as much as I can to paint, but most of the time I'm indoors in my studio and painting from a photo. 

I sell my paintings into displays mainly in INDIA. have had infrequent sell my paintings abroad.
