ith representational art, the choice of subject

matter is very important.  ere are views that

look nice but do not make good pictures, and there

are others that are attractive, hold your interest and

have elements that make a good subject. Street Corner

Pezenas is a good subject for a number of reasons.

 e view has depth, light direction giving form and

contrasting architecture, and interesting shapes. I am

using a variety of traditional techniques including the

wash, the graduated wash and wet on dry.
