Watercolour painting holidays in France - Day Two

Day Two  - The inspiring, rolling hills and towns of the Lauragais

Holiday day two is spent in the heart of the countryside where rolling hills and valleys are punctuated by small towns. Sunflowers poppies, golden corn and lush trees stretch into the distance where they meet the Black Mountains and beyond to the Pyrenees.

Painting is loose, drawing is minimal, and we will use all our colours to create broad wet on wet washes.
