San Antonio, Ibiza, 3


Landscape Watercolour of Ibiza, 15" x 11" on Bockingford NOT Paper 140 lbs

Looking up Carrer del Far, in San Antonio, Ibiza.  San Antonio is located in the west part of the island and has the largest natural harbour on the island (which is just on the left of painting) and the main tourist center.  This is near the popular 'West End' area of San Antonio where all the night clubs are.  Palm trees are quite easy to paint - dark pigment on the brush and loads of dry brush strokes from the centre outwards and trying not to be too symmetrical.

Walk along Marina Ibiza


Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford Rough Paper 300 gms

Marina Ibiza is right in the heart of Eivissa town and offers a nice walk along the promenade to admire the posh yachts, most of which never seem to go anywhere.  But deckhands are hard at work scrubbing and polishing for future guests. Overlooking the marina are many new apartment developments with their terraces angled away to give great views over the bay for their lucky owners.


Eivissa Harbour, Ibiza

The harbour in Eivissa is in the old city, and is a busy marina & ferry port with regular trips over to the island of Formenterra plus other Mediterranean destinations.  With a commanding position over the port, the 'high city' of Dalt Vila is a great backdrop, with views over the bay and beyond.
