In the rain, in Italy.

Watercolour, as you may know, is a medium in which the pigment is suspended in water. The more water involved, the more it flows around, and the longer it takes to dry.

For obvious reasons, it can be tricky to paint watercolours when its raining.

This is a quick sketch, looking east up the Arno from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. It was a very damp day. But I think you can see that from the picture.

I painted two watercolours that day. Here is the second.
