I fell in love with the watercolor before the Art Academy, when I was learning at a painter\u2018s Vytautas Peciukonis studio. I started spending my time in the nature, away from all the city clamor and labor.<br>In 2002 I started both my own exhibitions and participating in international biennials. In 2009 my watercolor school was founded, where I am teaching people of all ages to paint in various watercolor techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, I represent Lithuania at many watercolor exhibitions in the world: USA, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, Peru, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Slovenia, Albania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Finland, Poland, Latvia, Russia. I was one of finalists of the World Watercolor Competition, organized by The Art of Watercolour magazine in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-4-416x312.jpg 416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I am often called as Water master. Water was always an interesting theme. Spectating the purity, vitality, rhythm of the waves, dance of the lights became a huge series of watercolor, which comes to life till this day and has no conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painting watercolor is like conducting an orchestra of the sea. Water mixes cold sky reflections and warm body of the earth. Water moves by the rhythm of wind, catching light, reflects it from the wave ridges to the bottom of sea. Sun light runs at the bottom as if a golden snake subsequently disappears in the depths. It is live and nourishing substance rich in colors and emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInfinity is in front of your eyes\u201d, &#8211; my teacher used to say before I would start painting. There is no point to rush, try or show off in front of the infinity. It gives you peace of mind and helps you to work long and patiently.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-250x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-262\" style=\"width:318px;height:381px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-852x1024.jpg 852w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-768x923.jpg 768w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy-416x500.jpg 416w, https:\/\/watercolor.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/116888058_217252176282886_9128764410196950511_n-Copy.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.razinka.lt\">http:\/\/www.razinka.lt<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akvarelesmokykla.lt\">http:\/\/www.akvarelesmokykla.lt<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egle.lipeikaite\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/egle.lipeikaite<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eglewatercolor\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eglewatercolor\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eglelipeikaite\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eglelipeikaite<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EGLE LIPEIKAITE I am a watercolor artist from Vilnius, Lithuania, born in 1971.
