Watercolour 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Paper 300 gms Rough

Last day of the Alvaro workshop and a trip into the nearby seaside town of Scarborough.  It poured down with rain all the time we were there, so had to do this from a photo I took on the day.  Anyway lessons learned:

• Think about composition before a painting - change things you see to suit the composition
• Avoid painting groups of people together
• Values in a painting - where are the darkest and lightest areas?
• Colour - New colour combination Cerulean Blue and Burnt Sienna makes for a great grey
• Painting techniques - Dry brush strokes, wet in wet.
• Lost and found
• Edges
