French Village..Watercolor..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

This is another unframed urban  watercolor sketch I have done in a series. I loved doing these sketches. I used deliberate distortion in all of them, just for fun.

The village is one in southwest France

Saint Martin De Vers..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Still having fun with these sketches.

It seems to suit my love of drawing and color.

This one is a small village in Southwest France, called Saint Martin De Vers, I visited while teaching at Le Vieux Couvent.

The houses did actually look all crooked and tumbling down, although I have embellished that’s fact in my drawings.

I used my Tombow gray markets to establish my values first and then used my watercolors ..I find this a really fun way to get these sketches started.

I embellish with permanent markers later, getting all my details and implied textures in place.

This image is 11” x 14” and is on Fabriano Hot Press paper.

Journal Entry Southwest France..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This journal entry is of  Saint Cirq Lapopie while I was teaching at Le Vieux Couvent this past May. A fascinating medieval cliff side village 300 feet above the River Lot.

We had a wonderful day trip to this village, shopping and meandering through the winding little streets, just full of charming stores and restaurants.

I did not manage to paint there, but did take lots of photos which is where this study came from.

I will be teaching again at Le Vieux Couvent in July 2019.

It’s a wonderful place to stay and expose yourself to the peace and charm of the Southwest France region.
