Totnes High Street #2
Dec 03, 2020
Totnes, Devon, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The top of the High Street in Totnes, Devon, UK. A winter's day and the sun is quite low in the sky. Playing around with shadows in this one - angular shapes and cool, dark colours.

Pharmacie - Somewhere in France #2
Aug 09, 2020
Watercolor, 15" x 11", France
Painted some time ago, and now forgotten the exact location. So another somewhere in France theme, following on from my last posting. Quite a loose one and I had fun with the dark dry brush strokes towards the end.
Kiosk, street corner, Livorno
Apr 02, 2020
Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Kiosks are really convenient objects to include in a street scene. A chance to have a little bit of contrast with the roof against the background - light against dark or vice versa, a chance to include some customers/figures. This was a demo painting at a recent evening at my art club.

Calle san Agustin, Malaga, Spain
Jan 15, 2020
Malaga, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
As I have mentioned in a few postings before, I normally avoid lighting/sun coming from behind me. It makes for tricky shadows for figures and sometimes it's difficult to get a range of values. But here I think the dark area on the left, the angle of the roof replicated with the angle of the shadow on the street helped.

Rue du Colonel de Chadois Bergerac - Shady Shopping Street
Jan 06, 2020
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.

White Buildings - Puerto del Carmen
Nov 13, 2019
Puerto del Carmen, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
My current painting project for my Patreon club members this month is how to paint buildings that are white. So I shared this one of Puerto del Carmen, where nearly all the buildings are white. But you get a sunny day, and suddenly the values appear. Dull day? Give up painting in watercolour in my opinion.

Values and Shop Window - Bergerac
Dec 17, 2018
Bergerac, France, 15" x 11"
I was struggling to find a title for this painting post, but I think Values should be in there somewhere. I have quite a large range in values on this one and some quirky shadow shapes through this narrow street in Bergerac. The funny column here with some plants on the top caught my eye as a feature on the street corner.
