A watercolour workshop with instructor Shari Blaukopf from Canada: "Right up your alley - light, colour and shadow in Porto's narrow spaces..."
We had lots of fun with that one as Shari is such a great person and teacher and while drawing in the alleys close to Alfandega we met extremely nice people who asked us if we needed chairs or made music in the alleys for us. We had dust and cat-hair in our palettes. (Mine was run over by a cat) It was a sympathetic thing in those small streets...
Shari taught us step by step her colour mixing (generous amount of fresh paint) and how to paint the subject plus shadows, which was really good to follow. In the end she let us draw an alley but I did not finish... see below. My thanks go to Shari and the nice people of the workshop group (see below).
BTW: Paulo Mendes the Symposium Correspondent drew us while drawing in the alley. Let's see..., we are on his sixth drawing (the coloured one), and the blond somewhere in the middle is actually me! Thanks Paulo for your extraordinary work. click HERE to see Paulos drawings
