About WatercolorWall
Welcome to WatercolorWall. I am Ricardo Bouman, a graphic designer and painter with a keen interest in cities, architecture, nature and landscapes.
My paintings often have a connection with nature, an emotion, a cityscape or a location I have visited myself. I paint based on my own (travel) experiences and on the idea that: ‘To be able to create an atmosphere, I must first have experienced it myself’.
I paint cityscapes and landscapes, categorised into the following styles: Realism, Line and Wash, and Illustrative. I also create Expressionist, Dynamic, Minimalist and Modern Abstract art, in which movement or emotion often takes centre stage.
Curious to find out how I create my paintings? Then click on the ‘YouTube icon beneath my profile picture’ to watch my videos.
I digitise my paintings by photographing them in high resolution. At Werk aan de Muur, my paintings are available in your choice of sizes and materials.
These days, many people are full of praise for the use of AI (artificial intelligence). I have made a conscious choice not to use AI and to remain faithful to working by hand with brushes, watercolour paint and paper. I create paintings in my own illustrative style, using techniques that I have learnt and refined over the years.
WatercolorWall is therefore 100% handmade art.
