Jerald Silva
Jerald Silva is an American painter best known for his vibrant figure and still life work in large-format watercolor. His work has been shown nationally since 1962.

Silva is notable for inventing an unorthodox technique of watercolor painting in the late 1950’s that uses an impermeable sealer to prevent pigments from absorbing into the paper. Silva, who claims that this method is ‘cheating,’ refers to this technique as “watercolor incorrect.”

Silva is known for creating, quite possibly, the largest watercolor painting in the world.

Early life and education [Citation Required –Reference #5, #6]
Silva was born in Sacramento, California, in 1936. Silva developed a natural talent for art at an early age and whose career as a full-time painter began by the early 1960’s after a short period working as a commercial illustrator. He studied at different educational institutes including Sacramento City College, Sacramento State College, and Chouinard Art Institute.

Work [Citation Required - References #5, #6]
Silva is renowned for creating life-sized figure and still life paintings on a scale unparalleled in traditional watercolor. His earliest work was gestural and impressionistic, which would eventually evolve to become more representational to the elements and people he painted. Known as a realist, Silva’s paintings often imbue ordinary subjects with dreamlike, translucent imagery juxtaposed with bold spatial effects.

His paintings have been featured at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor, Sacramento’s Crocker Art Museum, and the Grosvenor Gallery in London.

Collections [Citation Required - Reference #5]
Silva’s paintings are in the permanent collections of the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, Ca; Springfield Art Museum, Springfield, Mo; and the Columbus Museum, Columbus, Ga.

Private collectors include Quincy Jones, Alan Ladd Jr., Kenny G., James Ingram, Michael Jackson, Norman Jewison, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hal Linden, Sylvester Stallone, Emilio Estevez, and Irwin Winkler
