Óbidos in Portugal | Watercolor painting

The medieval and colourful fortified town of Óbidos in Portugal lies high on a hill in the Costa de Prata or Silver Coast region. The town is completely walled in. Within the solid wall with battlements is a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets. The small white houses are traditionally painted with blue and yellow edges. Red tiled roofs and balconies with many flowers complete the floral whole.
The original painting has a size of 30x40cm and is painted with watercolor on watercolor paper. The painting has been photographed in high resolution and is available as Artprint on various formats and materials.

WatercolorWall is a studio where hand-painted watercolors are made. The person behind the studio is Ricardo Bouman, a graphic designer, photographer and painter with a passion for (far) travel and discovering (mountain) landscapes, cities and architecture.

Ricardo has been painting with watercolors for over 25 years and translates his own travel experiences into paintings. His webshop offers various subjects such as: Illustrative realism, Line drawings, Impressionism, Line & Wash and Modern Abstract painting.

Ricardo is a traditional illustrator and painter. He therefore does not use 'Ai' (artificial intelligence). All his works are handmade and created from his own (travel) experiences, ideas and expertise in the field of painting. His subjects often have a connection with nature, an emotion or a (city) location that he has visited himself.
His motto is: 'To be able to create atmosphere, you must first have tasted it'

Ricardo does everything in a traditional way. From stretching the watercolor paper, sketching and drawing the composition and subject, to painting with watercolors and inks.

All paintings are photographed in high resolution and available in this webshop as wall decoration on various materials and sizes.
