French Rivera, Ile de Porquerolles  The picturesque island is one of the four islands of Iles d'Hyeres and most likely, France’s best-kept secret - ok maybe it’s not so secret. But Porquerolles has remained throughout this time, unspoiled. I've visited this heaven on earth several times and can't wait to see it again. This painted view shows the gorgeous look on the coastline you have from many spots on it.

Inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com of Jean Haines.

Porquerolles is the biggest of the three islands of Or in the Hyeres gulf. The village was first built in 1820, the lighthouse in 1837, and the church in 1850. After being owned by a succession of people, the island was bought in 1912 by Monsieur Fournier who apparently bought it as a wedding present for his wife.

Two hundred hectares of grapevines were planted and the vineyard later produced a top-quality wine that was one of the first to be classed "vins des Cotes de Provence". Today the three vineyards on the island produce wine that has an excellent reputation. The vineyards are associated with the Conservatoire Botanique National de Porquerolles which protects the island's heritage and environment. ©provence.web


The whole island is a gem and an insider tip for those who like small and not overcrowded spots for vacation.

“It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are still alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them.”

LES COULEURS DU SUD

SIZE: 9 in. x 12 in. - 23 x 30,5 cm

PAPER: FABRIANO ARTISTICO - 100% COTTON COLD PRESSED  300 g/m²

Randvoll mit wundervollen, unvergesslichen Eindrücken und gut erholt zurück aus dem herrlichen Süden Frankreichs zieht es mich zurück an die Staffelei. In diesem Urlaub habe ich überhaupt nicht gemalt und es hat sich gut angefühlt. Umso mehr Lust habe ich jetzt. Eigentlich sollte dieses hier es nur ein Vorentwurf für eine größere Version werden, aber dann haben mir die Farben und die Stimmung so viel Spaß gemacht, dass ich es einfach fertigstellen musste. Jetzt werde ich mich wohl für ein sehr großes Format entscheiden und sehen, wie es sich umsetzen lässt. Die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte, Farbwahl und Strukturgestaltung könnt Ihr im 

WASH A WEEK CHALLENGE 

genau betrachten und auch lesen, warum ich diese Version für nicht richtig geglückt halte. Und doch mag ich sie so gern, dass ich sie Euch nicht vorenthalten möchte.
