St Emilion, France, 15" x 11"
A simple composition of one of the roads leading into the small town of St Emilion in SW France. And two ways of painting trees in watercolour: A small fully loaded brush and some dry brush strokes.

Bergerac, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
I think every good watercolour painting needs at least one 'clean' line. Something dominant to lead the eye to or towards a key object. So here I tried this with the angled support to the shop blind.

St Emilion, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
One of the main 'squares' in St Emilion, a famous centre of the wine industry, certainly in France. Just playing on light and shade here in this square, with light catching the foreground and umbrellas, and the some darks with the shadows and the main tree in the centre of the square.

St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Something summery for a late autumn posting and a bit of warm and cool here on the Rue Louis Pasteur in the market town of St Foy la Grande.

St Foy la Grande, France, 15" x 11"
For some reason, a street scene without people! Not usual for me. I suspect my reference photo was taken after the Saturday Market, mid afternnon in summer and devoid of anyone. Makes a change. If I had to include a figure, I probably would have sneaked one in one the right hand side, joining the middle ground to the background.

Place Jean Jaures, painted here just after the Saturday market has ended. So fewer people and an easier scene to paint. Here and not so often for me, I paint with the sun behind me, so casting some tricky shadows across the scene and a little more difficult to get figures looking right.

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.

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.

I tend to always paint around a figure and a car when doing a wash, even though in this case, some of the cars are in the shadows. Then when painting the cars, I try to get the right value for the body, and they while still damp, carefully blend with a brush into the surround and introduce some darker shadows below the car.
