Montpon Menesterol, France, 15" x 11"
Something to warm up the Northern Hemisphere. I started with the sky - mainly cerulean blue, and this was allowed to bleed with the ochre coloured buildings then the wash was cooler towards the bottom and foreground. While this was was still damp, I painted the blue shutters top right. When this was completely dry I painted in the background buildings and foreground shadows, carefully painting around the central figure left in highlight. The couple of figures were last and then added some white gouache as extra highlights.
