Port of Morlaix

The subject of the lesson is the port in the old town of Morlaix, in Brittany, in the north-west of France. It has everything we need for a good composition: old traditional architecture, plenty of sailboats, water and an old bridge — all this makes the place unique and recognisable.

The lesson includes the compositional work, the tonal relations and the colour scheme of the subject, then a step-by-step demonstration from the drawing to the final watercolor, with every stage explained.
