RE: Stairs and windmill - Escaleras y molino
I love this painting, first because I love windmills any type of them. This one because of white you showed very well how to [resent white colour, the way how you used blue and pink to create an impression of curve and also to show shadow side of it. I also like the idea of shadows of wings of mill on wall, that is another indirect way to reflect sunny day.
I have another question Juan, when you paint, do you do on dry paper or do you wet everything before for the first layer of colours and they when doing the details use smaller for certain area?
Really nice, thank you for sharing :)

Hi @stef1, thanks for stopping by.
Generally, when it comes to landscapes, I dampen all the paper to remove the grease, and then I wait for it to dry (that's why it has to be very taut, I use staples). But I don't wait for it to dry completely, I start painting when it's wet, but very little. And then I give the brushstrokes, always from the upper part of the painting, which are usually the skies, and that way I get more uniform washes.
