    What a beauty, Harriet! Many moons ago on holiday we drove down the coast of Spain, and suddenly and magically we came upon a beautiful white village.. I’ll never forget staying overnight at a beautiful spacious inn— across the road from the Mediterranean and surrounded by all-white houses such as the one depicted in your gorgeous painting. Thank you, Harriet, for this super tutorial which brought to mind such a lovely memory!
