Puerto del Carmen, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
My current painting project for my Patreon club members this month is how to paint buildings that are white. So I shared this one of Puerto del Carmen, where nearly all the buildings are white. But you get a sunny day, and suddenly the values appear. Dull day? Give up painting in watercolour in my opinion.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
One of the old streets in Bergerac, SW France. A favourite spot for me to paint. So many painting opportunities, especially on a sunny day where you can get some interesting shadows being cast over the scene. I went quite dark and cool on this one for the shadows to give maximum contrast with the warmth above.

Tuscany, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
5th day plein air painting on my recent trip to Tuscany as Tutor at the Watermill. Thursday is a short trip up the hill to the Il Convento dei Carmine, a privately owned Monastery. Tricky arches to paint and perspective exercises!

Perigueux, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
An unusual building overlooking the River L'Isle in Perigueux, France. An old mill, or medieval watch tower, with lovely timber clad outer walls, and very well preserved. The scene is a sort of slipway running up from the river to the main road and the centre of the city. I thought a figure half in the shadows worked quite well in the composition.

Just in case you missed it, here is my latest full-length watercolour tutorial video up on my YouTube Channel, and this time, how to paint white buildings - no we don't get out the white paint with watercolour! We use the white or the lightness of the paper and paint very transparently over it or around the white object. Hope you like it. Subscribe to my Patreon Channel if you want to participate in future painting projects and get a critique from me!
As always, this painting painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press paper and 300 gms weight.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Piazza Garibaldi (I think I have painted many Garibaldi named streets and squares) in Livorno, and I love painting these scenes where we have a dark foreground and a light background. For me, it creates a nice atmosphere of you are in a cool place and you are looking towards light and warmth.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A second plein air in the town of Bergerac. So many lovely narrow streets to paint. When I painted this one, so lucky to be fairly quiet and not many distractions. It's surprising when you setup your easel and start painting, how few people interrupt you and just leave you alone.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Day 5 and a day trip to Bergerac, the largest town on our itinerary. Lovely old timber clad buildings here with crooked edges and narrow street. Here a scene I have done a few times before. This demo I decided to do landscape orientation.
