Watercolors
Watercolor sketches have a long history. Painters, such as Delacroix, made watercolors as a way of taking notes that they would later transfer to oil. On the other hand, some architects and designers make sketches as a means to observe the colors of a given landscape or situation. Le Corbusier or Juhani Pallasma used both colored pencils and watercolors to make their drawings and sketches. In this project, we used the watercolor technique to observe the landscape’s chromatic atmosphere from a very subjective point of view. Each watercolor was made on site, sitting on a rock, on a pampas, or under an umbrella, sometimes in the cold, in the wind, and occasionally under the sun. These watercolors are not intended to be works of art or decorative objects, but only chromatic witnesses of the moment in which they were made.
