Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford paper 300g
The stretch of river front along the Gilhao River, Tavira on the Algarve, is a great place to walk down the 'Rua dos Cais' (baking hot in the summer), or sit at one of the cafes and enjoy the very picturesque setting.

I think it's better and just goes to show the importance of composition and I guess, planning your painting before you start!
