George Politis


“My work depends on texture. I emphasize on it as I want to be able to create the various effects of time on metal, wood or wall. A good variety of transparent vs opaque colors, granulation qualities and certainly lightfastness are very important to me. When I discovered DANIEL SMITH watercolors, I knew I had everything I needed. A great range of colors (that can suit everyone’s needs), well ground to be consistent tube after tube.”
—George Politis 



George Politis paints in watercolours and lives in Thessaloniki in Greece. He works in several media, but he prefers watercolor for its transparent and luminous results. He also likes to paint miniature artworks.
