Watercolour of Mijas, 15" x 11" on Saunders Waterford Rough 300 gms.
The Moorish watch tower in the seaside town of La Cala Mijas on the Costa del Sol. A painting of warm vs cool and ark vs light. the little bit of texture on the castle walls was done by dropping in some cobalt blue while the wash was still damp, then when moist, flick in some clear water - just a little bit. Has to be timed just right, as leave it too late and there's no effect or do it too early and you just get a soft lighter spot.
