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.

St Foy la Grande, watercolour, 15" x 11"
St Foy la Grande in SW France. I loved the diagonal shadows across the building created by the signposts and CCTV cameras on the corner of the cafe. Must be a very secure place! Painted with my 3-colour palette. Nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Libourne, France, 15" x 11"
I don't always advocate painting a sky twice in watercolour but this time I think it needed it for a bit of extra impact. Normally a sky is done in one go with me. This is the main square in the centre of town. Also painted with my restricted 3 colour palette.

Benalmadena, Spain, 15" x 11"
A bit of dappled shade via some wet in wet. A recent picture which where I tried to introduce lots of values and lots of connections - so values with the background buildings and the palm trees in front and then some connections with the cars linked in so to speak with the surrounding buildings and shadows.

Bergerac, France, 15" x 11"
The quayside at Bergerac on the River Dordogne in SW France. There's a lovely boat trip from the quay here which takes you up or down the river. Moored up here is an old gabare, a traditional old trading boat in the area. Quite a simple composition and perhaps I could have included a small boat bottom right, just to balance things out overall.

My take on painting palm trees - keep it simple. In fact they can be easier to paint in my opinion compared to broad leaf trees and conifers/pine. Just a simple stroke to do the fronds with a very soft medium brush, one with a good point and water retention. Also, try not to make them look too symmetrical!
