I swapped the milky, hazy sunlight for a clearer, warmer sky, but other than that, the scene is more or less exactly as I saw it. I love the old boats in Mindelo harbour, with their peeling paintwork and rust-marks. I have several more paintings of the boats, from different angles, which I&#8217;m hoping to turn into paintings over the next few days, and I may even paint something from Lisbon.<\/p>\n<p>I painted all morning whilst cacthing up on podcasts, then ran classes all afternoon. It was the &#8216;Perspective&#8217; session; the hardest one they&#8217;re going to have to do, featuring a yellow tram in a Lisbon street. Despite the challenge, the results were surprisingly good, and everyone actually seemed to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>This evening, the Carmen Duo gave us a Classical Concert in the Show Lounge, which was followed by &#8216;Blankety Blank&#8217; on the open Pool Deck. Now we&#8217;re in warmer climes, many of the quiz shows and late-night cabarets will take place there&#8230; they really could do with a few more outside lights, though.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, I&#8217;ll be giving them a seascape, so I&#8217;m opting for an early night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It takes five days to cross the Atlantic, which means lots of sea-days and lots of watercolour classes.
