Todavía permanecen en mi retina las imágenes del curso de acuarela en Caminha. FranciscoCastro realizó unas demostraciones que nos hacían creer que la acuarela es una técnica sencilla por la facilidad y soltura con que ejecutaba su obra. Me desconcertaba como obtenía la armonía de colores y acertaba con el valor del color sin aparente esfuerzo. Yo creo que he aprendido un montón con sus demostraciones y con las observaciones y repasos que nos hacia.
Ahora solo queda practicar todos los días, y yo espero que a lo largo de este año, pueda mejorar poco a poco. La acuarela es difícil. Lo dicen famosos pintores que pintan en óleo y en acuarela. De modo que me tomaré con paciencia mis progresos.
Los colegas acuarelistas, y sin embargo amigos, se notaba que llevaban tiempo practicando. Podéis ver el blog de Juan Valdivia, otros están dispuestos a comenzar un blog, que espero pronto seguir. La excepción es Patricia Castelao, solo lleva dos meses haciendo acuarelas. Aquí está un retrato que hizo a otra colega para que veáis de lo que es capaz de hacer.
Still remain in my retina images of Caminha's watercolor workshop. Francisco Castro performed several demos that made us believe that the watercolor is a simple technique, due the simplicity with it was executed his work. I was disconcerted as he got the harmony of colors and its accurate value, with no apparent effort. I think I learned a lot with his shows and the comments and reviews that made us.
Now, I have to practice every day, and I hope that throughout this year I'll improve gradually. Watercolor is difficult. Acording famous painters who paint in oils and watercolor. So patiently, I'll try getting on with my works.
My colleagues watercolor, but yet friends, had long that were practicing. You can see the blog of Juan Valdivia, and others are willing to start a blog, which I expect it soon .

The exception is Patricia Castelao, only takes two months doing watercolors. Here is a portrait that made to another colleague, you can see what is capable of.
Yo hice estas birrias. Mi hijo cariñosamente me dijo: ¡qué pinturas más malas!. Ahora tengo el trabajo de desheredarle, ir al notario, etc.
I did this rubbish. My son lovingly told me: what paintings so bad!. Now I have to disinherit him, going to the notary, and so on...
Aquí están algunas fotos que hice de los asistentes y del guatecazo que nos dio como despedida Francisco Castro en su studio de Caminha. Yo estoy al lado de él, soy el señor mayor, Ja,Ja..
