Francisco Castro. White street. 100x81 cm 2015
What is the significance of watercolor to you?
The watercolor for me is the means to express the
emotions produced by the different moments of life.

Do you prefer painting indoors or outdoors?
I have gone through different stages. I like the outdoors
for taking notes and references, and the indoors for finishing
my watercolors.
Francisco Castro. River II. 40x60 cm 2017
What is the difference in approach when you paint in studio and on the spot?
When I paint in the studio I think I am more creative
because when I am in front of the motive it becomes too
important, and I become a little bit of a slave to it. In the studio,
having distance from the motive is good for the creativity.
Francisco Castro. Trunk. 40x50 cm 2015

When I paint in plein air, I bring my palette, a
few brushes, and suitable clothes for the outside.
What paper do you prefer?
I prefer Arches paper.
