I was stuck, making paintings from my head, because I do not have enough knowledge about houses; as I paint them spontaneously and put real elements. I also had trouble inventing thinks about houses, how they look like, what are the details. Then I finally find myself that I am painting the same pictures as I did before, but with new color combinations or so. That make me think that what can help is to do drawings just to learn what houses have and how they are arranged. So here are two of them. It takes so long! It took me around 3hours to do each of them. And one per day.

Mazargue

Marseille

------------------------------

Otherwise no colors for provence houses is an another solution.

Red-orange-green-violet-3

Gemenos

----------------------------------

Red-orange-green-violet - 2

bd de Redon - Marseille

-----------------------------------------

Red-orange-green-violet -1 

------------------------------------------

Here I get that red-orange-green-violet looks nice for Provence houses. It solve the problem of no color of these houses, or the colors that i do not recognize as a colors (dirty ohra ).I like much more how houses looks on the red sky then on the blue one, i do not know why, but painting them as they are with natural color always led to some un-satisfaction for me. But these colors gives sufficient tension. And another bonus - here violet does not looked abused, as usual as it is contrasted by red.

And some drawings. From different places I've been during last two years.
