The area is in Castlefranc, a quaint town very close to le Vieux Couvent.
We painted by the river and had a lovely picnic this day, braving the wind a little, but it was still nice.
I did this entry on site, and it's all watercolor with a final touch of gouache with watercolor on the tree trunks only.
Don't forget that gouache can be used quite comfortably with watercolor, it is after all watercolor with a touch of white in it. I use it a fair bit while doing my journal entries.
I hope you are liking these posts and are traveling along with me on this wonderful trip.
Thanks for visiting..
