Tarragona Cathedral, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

I restricted myself to one brush for this painting with a large goat/synthetic mop brush from Lebenzon.  You certainly get a lot of freedom and a bit more creativity with the brush by sticking to one versatile brush.  This brush is also great for painting large areas in one go and also fine lines.

Lincoln, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A workshop painting from last week.  In about an hour or so I painted this scene from Lincoln.  A few challenges from the source video - complex windows, shop windows on the buildings on the left.  Then the cobbled street - how would you do that in watercolour?  And next, the background.  There were two towers from the cathedral. I replaced with a simpler single tower and a whole lot less detail.

Lincoln, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

A painting based on a photo from Patron Toni and Lincoln Cathedral.  The scene was attractive to paint with the light coming across the middle ground, hitting that white building in the corner, the framing with the back of the Cathedral on the left and the red brick buildings on the right.  I included a couple of figures for interest in the centre area.

"Enjoy the colours" was the subject for the weekly painting challenge at my Bristol based art club.  We of course are all safe in our homes at the moment and just communicate once a week on these challenges.  You see, I get my challenges as well!  I went a bit loose on this one. 

A view of the old Catholic Church which has a commanding position on the higher part of Sitges and great view over the beach and town.  This, perhaps a more unusual view with the surrounding high wall in front of the church and a framing of the scene with the buildings on either side of the street.  Quite a few of the darker brush strokes were done when the paper was still damp, so I get a bit of a softer edge to some of them.

Vernazza, Italy, 15" x 11"

Hope to see you Vernazza in October (I'm a tutor on a weeks painting workshop in the area)!  Washing hanging out to dry across tall buildings really gives an opportunity to sneak in some lovely shadows and contrasts (white bed sheets are best!).  A lovely location to paint.  Visitor numbers might be a bit lower this year assuming no big cruise ships visiting the area.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Perhaps a slightly unusual view of the Baroque Church from across the other side of the harbour.  It's quite difficult to paint a whole group of white boats.  Really I just think of the shape as a whole, and looking for geometric patterns for shadows.  Seems to work and keeps it loose.
