Saltash, Cornwall, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A bit of imaginary one this one, apart from the jetty - it soes exist down there.  I really enjoy doing these atmospheric ones - pre-wetting the paper and then laying down the first wash, leaving a bright area on the horizon.  As regards the horizon - leave it out.  Just transition slowly from sky to sea with a subtle change in colour.

St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I went a bit looser on this one - especially at the bottom/foreground.  Plenty of water and hold my board at a steep angle.  Let the watercolour do its own thing.

An imaginary scene - during lockdown and running our of source photos I need to be a bit more resourceful and re-purpose some older paintings.  Change boat configuration, change the slope of the beach, change direction of sun and so on.

Painted on Saunders.

Weekly sketch night with my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was "life after lockdown. So we have normally 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web). Owning to the current social distancing restrictions, this of course was a virtual meeting.

Here's my latest video and demo of a scene in Castillon in South West France.  I focus on what I feel are good reasons to include people in a street scene painting.  Hope you agree with me on my reasons!

Polperro, Cornwall, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Apart from the building and the shape of the background headland, a made up scene loosely based on Polperro in Cornwall UK.  I try to keep it loose and let the watercolor do its own thing.  While still damp, I do a bit of wet in wet with some darker values and get soft edges.

Bath, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A recent demo, well last year, to the Bristol Art Group in a workshop format.  So I did the demo in stages like my online workshops making it easy to follow my step by step approach.  The subject here was the Theatre Royal in Bath and a bit of Contra Jour

Vilamoura, Portugal, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A sharp right-angle corner in the marina and a few canopies over cafes and restaurants along the waters edge.   I thought it made an interesting pattern looking across the tops of the parasols.  Palm trees simply painted with a small round brush and some dry brush marks, flicked to emulate palm fronds.
