Chania, Crete, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Warms and cools and some angular shadows. Open air restaurant on the left side and sneaked in a waiter! And a cyclist in the shade...

Rue de la Porte Bouqueyre Saint-Émilion France
The road looking up to the centre of town. I thought this made for a nice composition. The street is not too wide and the buildings left and right create a nice frame of the scene. I moved a few objects around - signs and also moving the old wall lamp so that it's silhouetted against the sky.

Faro Railway Station, Portugal, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The late afternoon sun across the road leading to the station building in Faro. In front, a small cafe under the shade of some lime trees. Behind us is the railway station building, casting shadows across the approach.

A bit of artist's licence with this one in that I don't think there is a 'cafe' right next to the lifeboat station, but I thought it helped the composition with some darker objects in the shade of the building. Then I went pretty abstract with the bottom left corner. Could be anything down there!

St Emilion, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
This is the bottom of the town as I call it. On the right is a pizza restaurant bedecked in yellow and yellow parasols. A contra jour shot looking down to the end of the town.

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.

Correlajo, Fuerteventura, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A corner cafe scene dominated by a large date palm tree above. I suggested the spreading fronds with a bit of liberal splattering in a radial pattern. Quite a simple background with the kiosk and car painted around by a fairly light value.

Fivizzano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Another painting of Fivizzano. It's after midday, the weekly market has ended, and the streets are a little quieter. Great location for loads of plein air painting and fabulous views down every street. I went quite loose with this one and made a play of the warm tones of the buildings on the other side of the street.

Vernazza, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
For me, it's important to get that first wash down with important base colours. So in this scene of Vernazza on the Cinque Terre, I laid down a blue sky wash, down over the hills with the main colour of the buildings, then to the foreground with the yellow, allowing it to flow into the street. Then with the darks I paint around shapes to define them, like the top border of the village.
