Comares Backstreet..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I loved this mountain town in Spain, such a lot of back alleys and fun white buildings.

Comares is a mountain town, perched very high up on a mountain, and sprawling over lots of hills and valleys.

One needs their walking shoes and lots of water to negotiate the many streets. Oh and a map! I got lost a few times.

Portofino Street Scene..Watercolor..Terxas Artist..Rae Andrews

This scene is in Portofino Italy.. I loved this place, the small fishing area and all the bright buildings, just the reflections in the water alone and all the boats made for many paintings.
However, I stuck to building with this image and used my topsy turvy technique of deliberate distortion..

This technique makes (for me at least) the process of angles and perspective, a joy to draw.

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.
