Cambrils, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
I'm sure it's not called Fisherman's Wharf, but I thought it might make for a good title. It's quite a busy quayside leading up to the port buildings at Cambrils in Spain.

Castillon-la-Bataille, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Simple scene, could be anywhere...but this is...Castillon-la-Bataille in the Gironde area of South West France. Some old buildings maybe needing some paint, but I think that look is quite attractive.

Lincoln, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A workshop painting from last week. In about an hour or so I painted this scene from Lincoln. A few challenges from the source video - complex windows, shop windows on the buildings on the left. Then the cobbled street - how would you do that in watercolour? And next, the background. There were two towers from the cathedral. I replaced with a simpler single tower and a whole lot less detail.

Istanbul, Turkey, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
One of the best dishes in the world - Borek from Turkey. Here a market scene. I think it's near the covered bazaar in Istanbul.

Oxfordshire, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The River Windrush on a frosty morning. An exercise in values. Light of course in the background and trees get darker in value to the foreground.

Lincoln, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A painting based on a photo from Patron Toni and Lincoln Cathedral. The scene was attractive to paint with the light coming across the middle ground, hitting that white building in the corner, the framing with the back of the Cathedral on the left and the red brick buildings on the right. I included a couple of figures for interest in the centre area.

Cherbourg, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A recent painting painted with one brush - a large synthetic blend brush from Lebenzon. First time I used this large brush and new brushes take a few paintings to get used to how they handle, how much paint they can take, the marks they make, etc... One benefit of using one brush for the whole job - you don't need to keep thinking "shall I change my brush now" when painting different areas or stages of the process. Keeps it simple and the momentum going when timing is very important in watercolour.

Painting based on a courtyard in Lisbon. I will call it the Orange Courtyard because of the oranges growing. This painting is based on an image shared by a patron of mine on my Patreon site where we I have an image sharing section for painting inspiration. So thanks Rosa for this one.

Tarragona, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Quite a busy fishing port on the day of my visit and a fairly overcast, yet bright day, offering some light and dark in the scene. Having the correct brush is important for wave shapes. For me, a soft quill mop helps create that elliptical shape and soft so it does not disturb any paint below.
