St Emilion, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
This is the bottom of the town as I call it. On the right is a pizza restaurant bedecked in yellow and yellow parasols. A contra jour shot looking down to the end of the town.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A study of some shadows in the late afternoon in the New Venice area of Livorno. Just had to sneak in a cyclist. Plenty of dry brush marks in this one to get different edges.

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.

Laycock, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
One of the last workshops I ran before lockdown in the UK. So over 2 hours we painted a local Lacock scene - this is the top of the village, with about 50 attendees. An exercise in using imagination to help composition with figures and cars into a blank street scene. Plus a good exercise in perspective and values in watercolour.

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.

Olhao, Portugal. Watercolour, 15" x 11"
At one end of Olhao is this lovely boatyard and slipway. The building at the back has the 'fisherman's' restaurant in it - not sure if it's still open... Nice and peaceful spot to paint.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A corner in the canal in the New Venice area of Livorno - a network of inland canals a bit like Venice but much wider. It really helps having a soft mop brush for the delicate strokes to take advantage of the rough paper surface and letting the paper sparkle through.

Tuscany, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Old Vineyard at Monte dei Bianchi. A hot autumn day and the afternoon sun casting its rays across the vine - maybe the grapes have just been harvested. An old vineyard with some old posts at quirky angles can make for an interesting composition.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Around the new Venice area of Livorno and the 'Scali del Pontino'. Lovely stretch of water with boats moored up in every square inch of space along the canal walls. Lovely umbrella pine trees give it a real Italian feel.
