KK Wolf Studio
Realistic watercolors and oils with emphasis on light and shadow
I have been drawing, painting and designing as long as I can remember. In 1982 I immigrated to the US, Denver area, then in 1995 to Tri-Cities, WA. In 1988 I was introduced to watercolors and fell in love with this brilliant medium. I painted on and off while raising a kid and managing a successful career. In July 2019 I retired; finally, I could do what I wanted to do without worry about the next paycheck. I started up again with watercolors, and in 2021 learned using oils, too. In honor of my grandfather Walter Wolf, I started KKWolf-Studio in 2024. The reason I am an artist? The process transports me to a space of pure bliss and the final product gives me immense joy. I have decided to make my creations available because I want to share this joy with others. My website [link removed]will provide you with a lot more background of my paintings. I show my original work at several exhibits each year and have been accepted to the 2026 juried show of the Gallery at the Park, Richland, WA.
The Process
Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, I had the opportunity to see a lot of beautiful places in Europe, Morocco and Turkey, traveling by camping bus with my parents. Then in my 20s I immigrated to the USA. All these different cultures and locations taught me to keep my eyes open and observe my environment. I wish to show that in my art.
I am self-taught and use mostly watercolors and oils, but any other medium is fair game - whatever will do justice to the emotion and message I want to show in my art. I like COLOR, and realistic paintings with a touch of impressionism and a lot of feelings. My favored painters are Edgar Payne, Franz Marc and Carl Spitzweg and I love to paint Mastercopies. But what really fascinates me is the play of light and shadow, wherever I can find it, in a landscape, bouquet of flowers or a person’s portrait.
