So my entry number one is a few boats in the New Venice area of Livorno. Lovely part of this vibrant city in Italy.

Cinque Terre, Italy, 15" x 11"
The beautiful village of Riomaggiore on the Spezia coast of Italy. A popular village to visit in the Cinque Terre region of the coast here. Riomaggiore is a narrow village in a valley leading down to the sea, ending in a slipway and small sheltered harbour. Boats in the square above the slipway are covered in distinctive blue and white striped tarps (well some blue ones as well). Just an ideal watercolour subject with the range of values, nice shadows (when the sun comes out) and easy composition with the left and right-hand side buildings and the little'square' in the middle.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
A view up to the port area of Livorno in Italy. I went quite loose on this one as regards the shapes of the boats in the marina, the shadows, and details like windows. To be honest, I find it a very relaxing way of painting and great fun, rather than going for ultra detail.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The busy port town/city of Livorno in Italy, and a bridge over one of the wide canals circling the older area. Here I have gone landscape orientation to capture the bridge, the arch and the reflection of the tall building on the other side of the canal. I also went with a strong blue for the sky, to contrast with the warmth of the building. Careful not to do too much detail on the boats in the foreground!

The last day on last years trip as a Painting Tutor at the Watermill in Posara, and a trip up into the mountains to the village of Monte del Bianchi. An almost 'deserted' village, very peaceful and quiet. Our group went down to the end of the village and painted at the back of the village church. A washing line caught my eye and inspired me to do this scene framed by a couple of 'pencil' Italian Cypress trees.

Day 5 as painting tutor on last years course at the Watermill in Tuscany and a visit to nearby 'Il Convento dei Carmine', a privately owned monastery with ancient cloisters and frescoes, gardens and views. Lots of different views around the monastery and the internal cloisters (very tricky with lots of columns, shadows and perspective. I decided to do an external shot with my demo and invented a gardener pushing a wheelbarrow.

Day 4 on last years painting holiday at the Watermill in Posara and a day trip to the nearby Cinque Terre. These are 5 very pretty coastal villages, all very different in size and character. This is Riomaggiore, quite a narrow, steep town which leads down to a small protected bay with a single slipway into the sea. So this is looking up into the town. I really travelled light on the trip - my 3-colour palette, two brushes (a mop and a small round) and a piece of corex plastic as my board. No Easel. So I held the board with my left hand and had the palette on some rocks to my right. I used seawater of course instead of fresh. Seemed to work okay.
