Chania, Crete, 15" x 11".
A small quayside in the corner of the new harbour in Chania, Crete. Spherical shaped conifer trees with old gnarled tree trunks line the street behind. The conifers had very 'soft' edges against the background buildings, so it was a bit tricky to decide how to handle them - in the end, I did the trees first, then while the tops were still damp, I went in with the darker tones of the buildings, and they merged to get that softer feel. As in most things in watercolour - timing is important to get different effects.
