St Meard de Gurcon, France, 15" x 11"
The village of Saint Meard de Gurcon in the Dordogne, France. What I think makes it look like France is putting in those window shutters emphasised by their shadows. Key things on this painting - not make the pedestrian crossing too neat, but try and get the perspective looking right! Connect all the shapes - the street bollards, the figure, the cars - all joined or via their shadows. Also the foreground a bit darker in tone as it comes towards us, and finish off with some dry brush strokes for tyre marks on the road.
