Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #3 - Verrucola

Verrucola, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Monday, and a visit slightly up in the mountains to the village of Verrucola.  Here, we all positioned ourselves on or around the bridge leading into the village with lots of different painting options - the front of the village as I did, up the valley or a view of the mountains in the background.  Lunchtime and a delicious hearty stew washed down with some local red wine.  Ready for some loose painting in the afternoon.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #2 - Plein Air & living dangerously on the main road

Posara, Italy, 15" x 11"

The Afternoon on the first day and for the second plein air I decided to take our group up to the main road from the Mill and do a bit of street painting and a view towards the lovely village church and tower.  The only minor hazard being on the road is to tuck yourself close into the side walls as much as possible to avoid the Sunday afternoon traffic.  I also broke out my 3-colour palette on this one.

Watermill Tuscany 2018 watercolour course painting #1

Fivizzano, Italy, 15" x 11"

The very first plein air picture from last years painting holiday where I was the tutor for a week in the lovely Tuscany countryside (Watermill at Posara).  So this was an easy composition to get everyone on my course into the swing of things with a few simple shapes and colours, and if you wanted to, insert a few figures.  Well, I had to put in an artist and easel, of course, this being a painting holiday.  More details of the workshops I run, please click on the menu item above.

Bristol Savages Sketch Night - Artistic Licence

Wednesday night sketch night at the Bristol Savages painting group. Topic for the night "Artistic Licence". So we have 2 hours to paint based on that subject without using any reference material, so from memory really. But a title like that...a free for all! #watercolour #bristolartist #bristolsavages painted on Saunders Waterford Cold Press #stcmill

Some lucky splattering on the wheel - Fabriano

Fabriano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I'm in to splattering at the moment - in moderation though.  Trying not to overdo it.  But I thought the lucky strike on the nearby car wheel arch was just on target.  Normally with wheels of cars, I try to understate them.  To me they just don't look right with perfect wheels - tyres and so on.

The Bank Castillon-la-Bataille

Castillon-la-Bataille, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A 3-colour palette painting of this pretty town in South West France.  The sky wash was painted into the rooftops then while it was still moist I painted in the roof colours with a slightly thicker consistency paint to get the soft edges.

Walk down to the River, St Foy la Grande, France

St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Just a simple scene of some steps (leading down to the River Dordogne) in the town of St Foy la Grande, just alongside a major bridge there.  And a simple backdrop of a building catching some bright sunlight from the left.  Painted with my trusty 3-colour palette.

Boats at low tide, River Tamar, Saltash

Plymouth, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Some small boats at low tide on the River Tamar in Devon, UK.  Some needed a lick of paint (sorry owners) but a lovely subject to paint none the less.
