Vilamoura, Portugal, 15" x 11".
Three areas of high contrast here - the parasols, a couple of figures and the white van. I think the van could have made a painting on its own, that little reflection on the windscreen improves it 100%. I have used many watercolour techniques in this painting - a wash, wet in wet, splattering into damp paint, dry brush strokes (e.g. the tyre marks on the road and the palm tree fronds), plus a little 'body' paint with the white gouache used for highlights.
