Dingle Harbour, Ireland- Watercolour




 In this picture:  Dingle Harbour, Ireland
237 x 375mm
 

I'm learning to use a razor blade to create surface textures on the rock, it's a interesting technique I found from a watercolor handbook... Newly bought the flat brush no.3, it's is now my favorite tool...

Dingle is a small town in Kerry, Ireland, enjoyed a beautiful sea view and the wind of the Atlantic coast along Dingle Peninsular. There's a very nice fish and chips take away shop ran by expats, where provides wide range of fresh fish in large proportions, cans of cider are perfect match..

When I was a student in Salamanca, Spain. The New and the Old Cathedral is my favorite architecture.. I did sketching as a break of a day.. Feel like back to the past when walking around this beautiful antique city... and those violin, accordion, classic guitar players are perfect match.
