Demo last night to Newton Watercolor Society
Oct 25, 2020
Demo painting last night to Newton Watercolor Society in Boston (it was via Zoom of course!).
About 40+ of their members painted along with me over a couple of hours. This is Fivizzano Market Day in mid October. A bit of sun and an exercise in perspective, figure drawing, and simplifying the scene.
Livorno Harbour and Fish Market
Jul 03, 2020
Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Sorry, there's loads more to come from Livorno. This one was quite difficult to get the balance of composition looking right. I had to include the boat on the right and a couple of bouys on the right to balance up with the left-hand side. i think it worked.

Live and Online workshop to Onda Creativa - Demo #1
Apr 18, 2020
First live and online demo to approx 60 attendees to the Onda Creativa Art Group. Subject was a Google Street View image of Piazza della Frutta in Padua. You have to be careful with perspective when using a street view image as your resource - camera is higher than a person so you are looking down more on the scene. So you have to compensate and imagine you are lower! Takes a bit of practice.
This was a 2-hour live demo with Q and A during the session run via zoom. Needs a bit of multi-tasking!

St Foy Market Day
Apr 06, 2020
St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Market day is very busy in St Foy, South West France. So busy that I concentrated on just a single trader! Much easier. A contra jour approach. Bunting is a great way of adding interest higher up a street scene and a bit of contrast - light against dark.

Market Kiosk - Livorno
Nov 18, 2019
Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
I set myself a little challenge with this one - how to paint a group of scooters and bikes on the bottom right corner. Well two things - keep it simple and just think of the overall shape of the objects combined, and then with the painting I used a little white gouache (greyed down a bit) for the windsheilds which I think looked quite effective.

Market Day Fivizzano 2019
Nov 04, 2019
Fivizzano, Italy, Watercolour 15" x 11"
My 3rd day demo on my October trip to Tuscany. here a plein air painting done on Market day in the town of Fivizzano. You need to work fast here - by midday they're all gone and you have to paint from memory! I liked the shadows across the scene and the challenge of painting those complicated market stalls.
