Broderick was first and foremost a black and white character portrait artist. He is predominantly self taught and started watercolors in 2015. Since then, he was fortunate to have been an Opus featured artist in 2017, placed first in Master’s Category at the 2018 Grand Prix of Art Plein Air competition in Steveston and was featured on Vancouver Is Awesome for his quirky and stylish pet portraits. His impressionistic style of watercolors has been sought after by local and international private collectors and his works have been shown, not only in exhibitions within Metro Vancouver but in Italy at the 2019 Fabriano in Acquarello International Exhibition as one of the representing artists for Canada, where his painting was further juried into the Fabriano Watercolor Museum. He had exhibited once again at the 2020 Fabriano in Acquarello, this time as a selected foreign artist under the Italy group and was invited to demonstrate a realistic watercolour painting during the event. Broderick shares his passion with a global audience through his well received watercolour courses for beginners on the biggest international, educational platform of Udemy so others can experience the magic and joy of painting with water and color.
Artist Statement
“I will always be enchanted by the purity, and simplicity of the medium. What a privilege it is to have discovered my passion in watercolors. We’ve all dabbled with watercolors growing up, now allow me to re-introduce you, to the fine art, of Water & Color.” -Broderick Wong
