Malaga Cathedral, Malaga, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Cathedral is on the left. Quite a few dry brush strokes on this one, made easier by using slightly rough paper and not too much water on the brush. You only get one shot at some of these key strokes down the left-hand side with the lines of perspective.

Malaga, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The plaza del Obispo in Malaga, right next to Malaga Cathedral. A striking yellowish building which as a colour always looks great against blue. Kept things fairly loose in the shadows on the left, where there's a row of shops with things for sale on displays on the street. Also a bit of simplification of the architectural details of the cathedral facade on the right.

Demo #1
Demo 2
A recent visit back to Compton Dando Art Society and two local scenes to them. It was a two-hour session, so I did one before the coffee break and one after. I took it as a demo of course of watercolour, but also values.

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!

Dordogne, France, 15" x 11"
Late afternoon sun over the square in Villefrance de Lonchat. Edges in watercolour, they are important. So soft edge on the rooftops (so the sky wash was still damp and I paint the rooftops with slight thicker reddish paint so it does not bleed into the sky and create a mess) and hard edges on some of the shadow details on the church.

Iron Acton, UK, 15" x 11"
Composition - the more I look at this one, the more I question in my mind the purpose of the figure on the right. I think the right hand side is too loaded with stuff - the church, the car and the large figure. Maybe put the figure on the left, not so large, and have the shadows going across at an angle to connect, and not have the figure so obvious. Perhaps the next one...

Posara, Italy, 15" x 11"
My 2nd Plein air painting at the recent workshop I ran at the 'Watermill in Posara'. Another plein air painting looking down the main street of the village and the church tower at the end. Good practice of perspective.

Saint Junien, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Place Deffuas in Saint Junien, France. The church entrance is on the left. A small square in front, shops on the right and a slight slope down the road. Nice opportunity for some high contrast with cars being light against a dark background.

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
2nd Plein air painting with my art club, the Bristol Savages. Another view towards the Abbey from the mill. The day was starting to warm up nicely, so you have to speed up your work with watercolour. The cars were actually parked at 90 degrees to how they are in my picture, but I think they look better this way.

Tewkesbury, UK, 15" x 11"
My first plein air of Tewkesbury on a recent trip there with my art group, the Bristol Savages. Absolutely lovely day, no wind and bright sunshine. First plein air was an iconic view of the Abbey across the river. Very beautiful spot and very peaceful earlier on in the morning.
