« Horse Street, Chipping Sodbury 3 | Main | Boat Sales, Hotwells, Bristol, 2 - A practice sketch for a larger size painting »
Chania, Crete, 15" x 11".
A busier corner of the Old Venetian Harbour in Hania Crete. Background hills were made lighter at their base to add to the feeling of distance. Foreground was painted in with the side of a big mop brush - helped of course by using rough paper. All the darks are across the middle, and the actual scene in reality had hundreds of people walking up and down the quayside - to paint them all would have been extremely difficult and tedious, so I only added in a few.
