We have arrived in Cádiz – view from the window on deck 5.

Three sea days and three afternoon watercolour sessions means we’re half way through. Two complete beginners who are doing well. One couple I taught before are here too. Seemingly I “lit a fire” under one and he’s painting now like never before. Love that! The masks weren’t as popular as I thought. They wanted watercolour from the watercolour classes. Fair enough. But nonetheless there were nine made. Some fine specimens too.

The first projects went well. dolphins were jumping again and a lesson in perspective with an Almeria Village scene.
