Day 5 and the morning exercise was a typical French/Italian market scene in a small square. It was I guess a practice in composition again, tonal values and light. As per normal I did not listen 100% to teacher and had slightly modified the example we should have copied. So mine was probably more Southern Italy in atmosphere rather than France:
My next effort (again a rush job before lunch, so done in 30 minutes or so) was closer to Joseph's style with perhaps less strength in the colours, a bit more subtle and a looser feel to the shadows, background building and figures under the parasols.
In the afternoon I did a quick sketch of the bay in front of the hotel, looking over to the far side of Cadeques.
