Gran Canaria, Spain, Watercolour, 15" x 11"

Another beach painting from Gran Canaria - Playa de Las Canteras in Las Palmas.  Could be a good subject for 1) Composition  2) Creating mood in the sky  3) Getting light into your watercolour.  What do you think?

Next workshop is here.

Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Some effects that are difficult to achieve with other mediums - the mixing of different thicknesses of paint for the sky, and letting them mix a little at the edges and the glow you could get as in the centre here by leaving the paper unpainted and first laying down clear water around that bright area, or in it, then painting carefully up to the area to get a soft edge.
