Riberac, France, 15" x 11"
I have painted this town in France a few times but was playing around trying to get the colour of the buildings here in France. In this one, I use mainly a combination of cerulean blue and burnt sienna to get the colour of the stone. I tried to keep everything soft, with just a few hard edges. Trying to paint in a loose style was a challenge with the windows and I think I fell into that trap with the windows on the right. Too detailed now I look at them.

Eymet, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The sky is normally the first thing I paint, but not with this one. I wanted to go for a deep blue sky, darker in value than the buildings. So I painted the buildings and foreground first, then went in with my dark blue sky, carefully painting around the outline of the tops of roofs. It sort of worked.
I did a video of this. Is it worth putting it up on YouTube?

Montpon Menesterol, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Did this a little while back and made a video of it but have not edited and added commentary yet. Would it be worthwhile publishing on YouTube? So with this painting, I took just a very ordinary street scene. Very ordinary, but I liked the shade in the foreground, the light against the house on the right and the balance of the two no entry road signs. Simple things!

Libourne, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A 'round' square if I can call it that, in central Libourne in South West France. So a few of the buildings here are curved, so introduces a few challenges when trying to get their shape looking correct. I went with a loose approach and introduced a shadow in the foreground and a few figures in the shade. Cars very loosely painted also, using quite a bit of wet in wet technique.

Libourne, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Place des Martyrs de la Resistance, outside the main Railway station. Just an ordinary scene really, looking almost into the scene and a useful pedestrian crossing to help lead the eye into the composition. The buildings in the area have a lovely feel of minor decay which I try to portray with a bit of splattering and different colours in the walls. Quite a busy spot as there's a little cafe opposite, just before you get to the Station.

Castillon-la-Bataille, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A 3-colour palette painting of this pretty town in South West France. The sky wash was painted into the rooftops then while it was still moist I painted in the roof colours with a slightly thicker consistency paint to get the soft edges.
