Minehead, Somerset, 15" x 11"
Simple composition - go for 3 boats, all different sizes. It's amazing how many colours you can sometimes find in the harbour floor. Probably more than if it were the sea. My reference photo was a dull December day. I changed it to a sunny one!

Here's my recent video following my December Workshop and some paintings sent in by attendees. How different they all were and all brilliant. Next one is on March 1st.

Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Another Viridian Green painting, totally from imagination. This time I tried a small, rhombus shape of masking tape to go over the cabin roof of the boat to get a nice edge against a darker background.

Watercolour, 15" x 11"
My viridian green in my palette was looking a bit lonely (I rarely use it), so I decided to use it up with an imaginary seascape scene. I also decided to experiment with a new, cheap hake brush - bought for £1. So the sky was kept soft, but I had some harder edges in the sea. The painting was almost all done with this cheap brush. And I managed to use some of my Viridian Green also!

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.

Chania, Crete, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A little bit of a made-up composition based on the Old Harbour in Chania, Crete. It's a location I have painted a few times, and it's a composition I am happy with - background apartments, row of boats and reflections. This time I made a feature of the blinds.

Arrecife, Lanzarote, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Charco de San Gines, The 'puddle' is an internal tidal harbour in the main town/city of Arrecife. Quite tricky to get in the background - many detailed buildings and all mainly white or off white. When all the buildings are white it can be sometimes a challenge to get right. I kept it loose. I have created a video of a similar scene here which I may publish soon up on YouTube.

Cabo Roig, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A marina scene with the backdrop of some low cliffs, near Murcia, Spain. Composition wise, I went with a wedge shape - the ridge of the cliff mirroring the reflections and narrower to the right. You have to be careful with reflections. Here they're darker than the objects above.

River Tamar, UK, 15" x 11" Watercolor
Inspired by a bit of Claude Buckle, I attempted this misty scene on the River Tamar. A limited palette and concentrating on values and the simple silhouette shape of the boats and their reflections. Water reflections are best done with a mop brush with a good point/edge.
