Faro Railway Station, Portugal, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The late afternoon sun across the road leading to the station building in Faro. In front, a small cafe under the shade of some lime trees. Behind us is the railway station building, casting shadows across the approach.

A view of the old Catholic Church which has a commanding position on the higher part of Sitges and great view over the beach and town. This, perhaps a more unusual view with the surrounding high wall in front of the church and a framing of the scene with the buildings on either side of the street. Quite a few of the darker brush strokes were done when the paper was still damp, so I get a bit of a softer edge to some of them.

My latest YouTube video is based on a photo very kindly sent me by one of my Patreon Members. Thanks Sandy! This is Monhegan Island, Maine USA. A couple of lovely timber buildings, small boats and some dramatic shadows. Going for some dark shadows here to contrast with the boats

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A street corner near the port area in Livorno, Italy. I think this is almost an 'H' format composition - left hand buildings forming a border that side, shadows across the middle, then street signs up the right. Works for me.

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"
I thought this made a nice composition - with the steps coming down at that angle and then the canal going up, under the bridge. Another 3-colour painting done with my lightweight travel palette - a modified Frank Herring plastic palette. They do different designs.

A couple of watercolour demos to Corsham Art Society earlier in the year, before lockdown! They are two views almost from the same spot - one looking down the High Street from the Post Office and the other one looking up the lane to the local church. Both painted in under an hour each, with commentary along the way!

Weekly sketch night with my art society, the 'Bristol Savages', and the topic for the night was "life after lockdown. So we have normally 2 hours to produce a painting based on that topic without the use of any reference material (so no cheating looking up on the web). Owning to the current social distancing restrictions, this of course was a virtual meeting.

Bath, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A recent demo, well last year, to the Bristol Art Group in a workshop format. So I did the demo in stages like my online workshops making it easy to follow my step by step approach. The subject here was the Theatre Royal in Bath and a bit of Contra Jour

Albufeira, Portugal, painting, 15" x 11"
Probably keeping to my formula of bands of light and dark down a painting made fairly easy here in this scene from Albufeira, a tourist resort in Southern Portugal. Then I use objects to join up the bands - for example the figure under the shade of the tree and some posts on the left to connect with the middle ground and so on.
