AQUARELLE CLAIREFONTAINE

.....initial unfinished watercolour study of an assortment of old keys painted from life .  Studies are  often just a starting point.. I'm sharing this recent study  as I really liked the effect created by "washing off"  areas of some of the old keys ..I had to stop at this point .

"Mani Tower houses"
Mani Peninsula- Peloponesse  - Greece
view from Porto Kayio
watercolour
A4 CANSON MIX MEDIA watercolour - acrylic


......a quick plein air sketch view of  Tower houses of Mani  painted from our anchorage . Once we reached the protection of a small bay I was eager to sketch  these incredible ancient ManiTower houses .... it's very challenging  painting on deck whilst anchored your view point changes continuously .
