Daniel Smith watercolors

Continuing this wonderful journey in watercolor that I started on 4 July 2024 with my first watercolor ever, I keep going, exploring new ways, new techniques,  enjoying more looseness and more vibrant colors. 

A hue that I really would like to explore more is the gamut of yellows in all its possibilities. 

Here cold yellow lemon combined with fully saturated orange give that kind of vibration that I was looking forward in this portrait.

Portraits of the soul is serie in evolution, that expresses pure emotions captured in one instant. More coming soon!

Let´s shine. Let´s enjoy every moment of life, and help others enjoy!  

More happiness all over the world!

Today my style is more loose, but still love to paint vibrancy and movement, strength and softness...as when I'm dancing.

It should be interesting to go back to a new series, Fruits 2026, to celebrate this watercolor journey that started 4 July 2024....



Happy weekend to everybody. Let's celetrate life at every moment

Searching for meanings

How to find meaning in everyday´s life? 

Why an old dusty book might become a meaningful piece in the puzzle of our journey? Or any other object, scene or person. 

What makes something, some place or someone, different, unique, unforgetable, irreplaceable?

With this painting I started developing that idea last year, and now coming back for more exploration. 

Keeping the essentials, tonal values, light and shadows, reducing color, fading background to its minimum expression. 

Finding the soul.

A new artistic journey: Watercolor!

 On 4th July this year I started a new art journey... I decided to start exploring a new technique; Watercolor.

Water is unpredictable,  capricious. 

It creates spontaneous forms, fleeting movements... 

The dance of water that when it dries reveals much of our unconscious... and much of the intimate pulse of life.

Five months have passed since the day of my first watercolor.  Now my vision has changed for ever. I see through the shapes and volumes from a new perspective. I see light and colors, and that transparent dance, a real miracle in each stroke. 

And I see watercolors all around me, not places, not objects, not daily life scenes or faces, but water giving birth. I see watercolors in the movement, in the sound and the silence, in the smelling and the taste.  

 I feel deliciously lost, and at the same time I feel that I have never been so much in contact with my true essence.

Let´s see what the water brings, I'm just planning to flow along the way.
