It's coming! The Annual Exhibition at the Bristol Savages. Loads of paintings from local artists around my local city of Bristol and who are members of the art group. The exhibition is on 26th April to 11th May, and entry is free. The exhibition is at the Red Lodge, Park Row, Bristol, BS1 5LJ and entry is free.
So my entry number one is a few boats in the New Venice area of Livorno. Lovely part of this vibrant city in Italy.

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.

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.

Verrucola, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Monday, and a visit slightly up in the mountains to the village of Verrucola. Here, we all positioned ourselves on or around the bridge leading into the village with lots of different painting options - the front of the village as I did, up the valley or a view of the mountains in the background. Lunchtime and a delicious hearty stew washed down with some local red wine. Ready for some loose painting in the afternoon.

Fabriano, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
I'm in to splattering at the moment - in moderation though. Trying not to overdo it. But I thought the lucky strike on the nearby car wheel arch was just on target. Normally with wheels of cars, I try to understate them. To me they just don't look right with perfect wheels - tyres and so on.

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.

St Foy la Grande, France, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Just a simple scene of some steps (leading down to the River Dordogne) in the town of St Foy la Grande, just alongside a major bridge there. And a simple backdrop of a building catching some bright sunlight from the left. Painted with my trusty 3-colour palette.

Plymouth, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Some small boats at low tide on the River Tamar in Devon, UK. Some needed a lick of paint (sorry owners) but a lovely subject to paint none the less.
