I paint custom watercolors by hand using the line wash technique from Valencia, Spain. Every commission is a painted conversation.
I'm Pedro, and I paint watercolors from Valencia. I come from the world of graphic design, where I worked for 20 years, but fine art painting always ran alongside it — I've worked through several techniques over the years until specializing in watercolor, especially with line wash: ink and color on the same sheet. Now I want to share that work through this project.
Every commission starts the same way: someone tells me what they want to remember — a portrait, a pet, a corner of their city — and I try to find a way to paint it without losing either the technique or the emotion. I'm not after photographic perfection; I'm after a piece that feels alive.
I work with 100% cotton watercolor paper and professional-grade pigments, always a one-of-a-kind piece, always hand-painted. You can see the results in the commission portfolio, or read on the blog for more detail on how the line wash technique works.
100% cotton, so the color can breathe and the paper holds up well to water.
Artist-grade pigments, the same tones you see in the logo.
The line that holds each composition together, after the pencil underdrawing.
I don't work out of a studio with a team, or with automated processes — every commission passes through my own hands from start to finish, from the first time I read your message to the packaging before I ship it. That means a realistic delivery time (not a "factory" promise), but it also means the piece you receive has had, literally, all of my attention.
I chose the name "Pensamientos de Colores" because it's exactly what I try to capture in every piece: not an exact copy of a photo, but the feeling behind it. If you'd like to go deeper into how I work the technique day to day, I've got several notes on the blog about the process.
Tell me what you'd like painted and I'll prepare a no-obligation quote.
