Camion Bleu

Camion Bleu by Liza Hirst

This one turned out a bit tighter again - it is so difficult to keep it loose and make just the few necessary brushstrokes of the essential. I always admire watercolourists for their confidence and skill, for you have to know exactly where and how to put down your paint - there's no covering of faults, while I paint mostly by the method of trial and error.

I enjoyed painting this van on it's own, as I could study the colour a bit more in detail. Green is one of my favourite colours anyway and I love all the different shades here.

Another take on the three beauties of Verteillac, which I personally are more happy with. But that's not it yet....

Three Old Peugeots

On the outskirts of Verteillac, the village where I now live, they have created a big open space for a future parking lot and someone with a good eye has parked these three fantastic old Peugeot vans right in the middle. It looks like they were on stage, trying to attract as much attention as possible - and of course, beautiful as they are, they do!
I will probably attempt another painting of them.
