Porlock Weir, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A spot not too far away from me down on the North Somerset coast.  Another low tide painting.  Low tide, exposing the harbour bed, can be just as interesting as some boat reflections!  Well in this one, best of both worlds with the bridge reflection.

Ronda, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Painting on the 'wrong' side of the paper often doesn't matter unless it shows the watermark as in this one.  Sometimes you can hide it by a darker colour, but clear as day here up in the sky.  Often manufacturers state on watercolour paper that you can paint on both sides.  But I find in the manufacturing process, the two sides can be a little different in texture.  Perhaps one side uniform in the texture, and the other more random.  They can produce some subtle differences in outcome, and the way the paint flows.  As long as you know what to expect I guess.

Watercolor 15" x 11"

The bridge over the river that gave its name to the region of Dordogne in South West France.  My source photo had no bridge reflections to talk of.  Photos can be quite boring and uninteresting.  So I made more of a feature of the reflections, lifted the horizon a bit and introduced a small rowing boat as a focal point

A well-known 'beauty spot' near to where I live called Yate Rocks.  It's out from the main town and a narrow 'Ford' (a shallow place in a river or stream allowing one to walk or drive across) surrounded by some pretty cottages.  My first attempt at painting a willow tree with its long pendulous branches.
