Welcome to Wet on Wet – the podcast that dives deep into the world of watercolor and the minds of the artists who master it. In this episode, host Sunil Kalbandi sits down with Eglė Lipeikaitė, a celebrated Lithuanian watercolor artist, instructor, and the creative force behind watercolor.lt. Known for her poetic water scenes and immersive wet-on-wet techniques, Eglė shares her deeply personal artistic journey—from Soviet-era Vilnius to global exhibitions and a thriving teaching practice. You’ll discover how daily painting, emotional connection, and natural rhythm shape Eglė’s creative process. Whether she’s walking through forests or dancing through colors on a canvas, Eglė paints with intuition, philosophy, and a strong commitment to sharing beauty. This episode is overflowing with wisdom for aspiring and experienced watercolorists alike.
