Spanish Building

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink line (Micron 01 pen) on Masters sketchbook done this past weekend.  As part of a WetCanvas weekend drawing event, we had only 2 hours to choose a reference (courtesy Wendy) and paint it.  If not done at the 2 hour mark participants must photograph the stage they've reached at that time and post it.  We should paint without interruption but that is not always possible.
Here I have cropped a tall white stucco building in Ronda, Spain.  I like the small iron balconies and the cast shadows; the photo did not have red tile roofline but I changed it for more emphasis.

Cozumel Shops townscape

15x22 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Winsor Newton paper, a series of shops based on my photos of our last trip to Cozumel, Mexico. It is a truly enchanting place so colorful and vibrant.  This was painted wet into wet with a 1" flat sable brush.
