Watercolour of Marseilles, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough 300 gms.
Another 'mesh' side up painting on Saunders Rough. The scene is of the Old Port in Marseilles, looking from one side to the other, and the many masts silhouetted against the city buildings behind. I suppose quite a simple painting as regards stages - sky first, then the sea (dropping in darker colour as it was damp), then the background buildings painting around some of the yachts and lastly the various boats themselves, their hulls on one side in the shade and mast in white gouache.
