Landscape Watercolour of Lanzarote, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough Paper 140lbs
Late afternoon sun coming in on a short promenade in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, looking towards the south western tip of the island. Biggest challenge on this painting was timing of the shadows of the palms trees, which were painted in before the trees and leaves themselves. A bit of "wet in wet" to make sure the edges are not too sharp. The alternative approach could have been to wait until the promenade wash was dry and then do some dry brush strokes for shadows.
A rigger brush was used for the leaves, with the brush well loaded with paint.
Wonderful work Tim, love the figures, shadows.
