I do aim to try and capture the essence of a subject and squeeze as much out of the subject as I can. It's very distinctive with the colours in the cliffs and the type of wild vegetation but also has a few crossovers with the Cornish coastline. The sun definitely seems to make more appearances in Portugal though!

The senses get fired up when on a trip and it's a shame not to make the most of that. Funny thing is they can often end up more interesting than the landscapes that were otherwise intended! Let's hope we get sunshine Venice anyway...I think we're due some!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909161522406304080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729131942320060374.post-58641792518740820192016-07-19T04:25:51.153+11:002016-07-19T04:25:51.153+11:00Lovely work David.

I think it is all that daily drawing that makes you so good at capturing the essence of the figure so quickly.
