Transatlanta Watercolors: Barn, Finger Lakes

Jan 22, 2014

Barn, Finger Lakes

Almost every weekend we go driving around the area, armed with a camera, and enjoy the beautiful country surroundings while gathering material for my painting hobby.

Quase todos os fins-de-semana, nós saímos para explorar estas areas rurais tão bonitas nesta area. Sempre armados com uma câmara claro está. Isso fornece muito material para o meu passatempo favorito, o desenho e pintura.

Watercolor with Pen and Ink, Sketchbook.

Thanks Jewel, you are too kind.
I do like the transparency of this painting - I am not always able to get it.

Watercolor = Aguarela

From a young age, I have been fascinated by watercolor paintings. The transparent paint allows the light to go through it and to be reflected back to the viewer by the white surface of the paper. This results in a luminosity difficult to achieve through other methods. My favorite subjects are buildings and townscapes of historical interest. I admire many watercolor masters, especially Winslow Homer, John Pike, James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Wesson. And, from my native Portugal, Roque Gameiro, Alvaro da Fonseca, Alves de Sa' e Julio Amaro.

Desde pequeno, sempre tive um interesse especial pela aguarela. A tinta transparente permite que a luz seja reflectida pela superfície branca do papel, o que resulta numa luminosidade difícil de conseguir por outros processos. Os meus temas favoritos são de natureza arquitectónica, especialmente estruturas de interesse histórico. Admiro muitos mestres de aguarela, mas destaque vai para Winslow Homer, James Fletcher-Watson, Edward Wesson, and John Pike; e em Portugal, Roque Gameiro, Julio Amaro, Alves de Sa' e Álvaro da Fonseca.
