For many years, I worked as a computer graphic artist in the advertising departments of various companies. However, I missed the haptic quality of artistic design. Now, I have been working and experimenting with watercolors for over 20 years. What makes watercolor painting special to me is its great versatility. With it, you can create images of incredible brilliance and depth. Painting techniques vary from opaque and intensive, delicate and transparent, or dynamic and extensive to highly detailed and extremely fine. It is so fascinating to watch the pigments flow and to observe the soft gradations and exciting textures that can be created by the different pigments and minerals in the various colors. I am delighted to introduce you to Rockwell's beautiful and wonderfully vibrant colors.

Urte Zimmermann is a graphic designer and painter living near Halberstadt in the Harz mountains. She grew up in Neubrandenburg. During her fashion design studies in Berlin, she acquired the basics of drawing from the model, various painting techniques, color and design theory, as well as art history. Particularly the lessons with painter Alexander Georgiew laid the foundation for her later love of watercolor. An additional training as a computer graphics artist allowed her to work for many years as a graphic designer in the advertising departments of several software companies and a manufacturer of medical devices. Although this was enjoyable, it was often very technical and neither utilized nor further developed her own creativity. Thus, she painted her colorful and imaginative pictures at home in oil, acrylic, and later almost exclusively in watercolor, as a balance. She learned gilding and egg tempera painting from icon painter Abraham Karl Selig, and further watercolor techniques from painter Andreas Claviez. For several years now, she has been regularly showcasing her paintings and instructional videos on Instagram, TikTok and Youtube for all those who enjoy painting.
