Covered Market Ibiza Town, watercolour 15" x 11"
This watercolor painting depicts a lively street scene near the covered market in Eivissa (Ibiza Town), capturing the charm of the area with loose and expressive brushstrokes. The composition is vibrant, showcasing a mix of architectural elements, vehicles, and people.
Foreground: A row of parked cars lines the street, painted in deep blues and purples with bold, dynamic strokes that add depth and movement.
Middle Ground: Silhouettes of pedestrians walk along the sidewalk, adding life to the scene. Their forms are minimal yet effective in conveying motion.
Background: The covered market and surrounding buildings are rendered in soft beige tones, with subtle detailing that suggests windows and structural elements. The artist uses light washes to create a sunlit atmosphere.
Color Palette: The painting features a harmonious mix of warm and cool tones. The greens of trees and splashes of blue contrast beautifully with the neutral tones of the buildings.
Atmosphere: The interplay of light and shadow evokes a sunny Mediterranean day, with dappled light filtering through trees and reflecting off surfaces.
Carrer Major March 2025 Workshop, Tarragona, Spain, watercolour 15" x 11"
This is one of my recent watercolour paintings, capturing the charm of figures in a sunny street scene. The setting is vibrant and warm, with the golden hues of the building bathed in sunlight, creating a striking contrast against the cooler shadows. I wanted to convey the play of light and shadow as it dances across the street and buildings, bringing life to the scene.
The figures are central to the composition, walking casually and interacting with their surroundings. Their silhouettes are loosely defined, allowing the viewer to focus on their movement and energy rather than intricate details. I used quick brushstrokes and a limited palette to suggest their forms, keeping the mood relaxed and spontaneous.
The architecture in the background is rendered with soft washes and minimal detail, emphasising texture and atmosphere rather than precision. The balconies and windows are hinted at with bold lines, adding structure without overpowering the scene. On the right-hand side, I included a doorway and signage to anchor the composition, balancing the open space of the street.
I aimed to capture the essence of a sunny day—bright light spilling onto the pavement, shadows stretching long across the ground, and people going about their day in a timeless urban setting. The painting reflects my love for simplicity and storytelling in watercolour.
