Watercolour of Saint Raphael, 22" x 15" on Sanders Waterford Rough 300 gms
The marina at Saint Raphael in South East France. The wide promenade here follows the perimeter with lots of right-angled bends. This is the posh end with smarter up-market yachts. Further away from town the boats are smaller and a bit shabby looking. Thickish pigment was used for the palm trees - maybe an easy type of tree to paint with a few bold strokes from the crown of the tree outwards. White gouache was used for the ropes to show up against the darker background.
