A small well formed group of artist wannabes crept to the ruin at Barbanichos, a special place owned by friends on the lower slopes of  Pantokrator mountain on Corfu as it descends to the Ionian Sea above Avalki. We imported soft music and furniture to create the most wonderful impromptu studio as we hid from the impending storm for a lesson on vanishing points and simple watercolour shading.

The staggering view over the Adriatic the Albanian hills provided material spied through the stone apertures of the ruin and everyone was absorbed by the atmosphere. Instant creativity ensued.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The results are brilliant and shows how unimportant it is to have more than a couple of colours and a big brush: or anything more than a good composition that be applied to any particular style or approach.  Bravo mes amis.
