Tavira, Portugal, 22" x 15".
The main street in Tavira heading up away from the centre of town. Some simple shapes here in this picture. Getting the initial drawing correct before laying down the first wash was imperative so as to get perspectives looking right - made a little more challenging with the road going up the hill. Dry brush strokes with neutral tint give some definition to the architectural detail and lamp post on the left - like a golfer on practicing the shot, I practice those linear strokes before committing to laying them on the paper.
