Fish brochette called "Espeto", very popular in the coast of Malaga, Andalusia, Spain. Sonia Pascual.

A tinao is a structure typical of the architecture of La Alpujarra, which forms an arch across a narrow street creating a small tunnel and enabling a room to be built above to create extra accommodation space and link buildings. They are most common in the villages of the high Alpujarra in Granada province but can also be found in the villages of La Alpujarra Almeriense. This one, off Calle de Rosa in the village of Instinción near where I live, offered a perfect composition for this watercolour.

I painted this watercolour, in the village of Fondón in La Alpujarra Almeriense, looking through this tinao down a narrow street off the main square. Tinaos are a regular feature in the villages of La Alpujarra. They are arches at crossroads over which the neighbouring houses spread. I like the way this one frames the composition leading the eye down the narrow, cobbled street.

There are many interesting streets in Padules, one of the larger villages in La Alpujarra Almeriense, Almeria, Andalucia, Spain. For a painting I particularly liked this scene. The light and shade, textures and colours are perfect for this watercolour and the composition leads the eye down the narrow lane towards the Jasmine climbing up the wall of a house.

Cadiz in Andalusia, Spain, has retained a discreet Moorish flavor - the old mosque has long since been converted into a Catholic church, but the building itself is a vivid reminder of the time when the town was ruled by Islamic dynasties from North Africa.

This group were performing flamenco in the square of my village, Alhabia in Almeria, Spain. I enjoy painting dancers and as soon as I saw this elegant young dancer, Aldara Cruz, I was inspired to paint her. I included the singer, José Contreras, and the guitarist Cristian Gil, in the composition to tell the whole story and add atmosphere to the work. For my dance paintings I use Sennelier artist's pastels and Sennelier pastel card.

(Nikon D5200; lens AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm) Cadiz stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water. Named Gadir by the Phoencians, who founded their trading post in 1100 BC, it was later controlled by the Carthaginians, until it became a thriving Roman port. It sank into oblivion under the Visigoths and Moors, but attained great splendour in the early 16th century as a launching point for the journey to the newly discovered lands of America. Cadiz was later raided by Sir Francis Drake, in the struggle to gain control of trade with the New World, and managed to withstand a siege by Napoleon's army. In the early 19th century Cadiz became the bastion of Spain's anti-monarchist, liberal movement, as a ...

Not many of the little houses in the villages of La Alpujarra Almeriense, Almeria, Spain have gardens so the owners decorate their walls, doorsteps and windows with pots containing colourful flowers and cacti. This corner of Ohanes is typical and I thought makes a charming subject for a watercolour.

Nikon D5200; lens: AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm The morning light shining on the nets intended to deter the pigeons from nesting, gave the interior of Cadiz Cathedral a slightly eerie look. The church, built between 1722 and 1838 was known as "The Cathedral of The Americas" because it was built with money from the trade between Spain and America and was designed by the architect Vicente Acero, who had also built the Granada Cathedral. Acero left the project and was succeeded by several other architects. As a result, this largely baroque-style cathedral was built over a period of 116 years, and, due to this drawn-out period of construction, the cathedral underwent several major changes to its original design. Though the cathedral was ori...

Nerja on the Mediterranean Costa del Sol Andalucia Spain photography by Andy Evans Photos

A corner of a patio of the converted old mill of Bornos above the village of Las Negras near my home. A lovely subject to paint with many different tectures, the stone walls, metal bike and chimney, wooden doors and the plants. Lovely colours too and typical Mediterranean plants – vines, cacti, succulents and geraniums. I used a free, sketchy style of watercolour painting for this work. There is more in this painting than my recent sketches of beaches and boats but the work is not so detailed as in my usual style so I have priced the original painting accordingly. The size of the image is 350mm x 250mm. The original painting is for sale for 110 euros. All enquiries: [email protected]

I love painting scenes along this narrow, cobbled lane beside the Rio Darro in the Albaicin in old Granada. The magnificent buildings, the colours, the light and shade make perfect subjects for watercolours.

Wandering around the beautiful old quarter of Granada, the Albaicin, I always discover new scenes to paint. This old alley is typical. It may not have the stunning views of the Alhambra but what a lovely subject for a watercolour!

Cute Spanish flamenco dancer. Sonia Pascual.

Ever eaten a carnival mask???? I have, and it's delicious.

Manilva, a charming village in Malaga, Andalusia, Spain. Sonia Pascual.

These dancers were performing at the Jornada de la Recuperación de Oficios Antiguas in our next village, Terque, in La Alpujarra Almeriense, Andalucia, Spain last month. I enjoyed using my watercolour pigments for this painting but I had to be cautious using strong pigments such as cadmium. I also had to strike a balance between isolating the dancers and making the background too busy. The especially primed canvas was ideal for painting on.

High op on San Jose de Dios Square in Cadiz, Spain I spotted this simple play of lines and shadows cast by the evening sun on some houses. Nikon D5200; lens: AF-S Nikkor 17-55mm

I wanted to paint a still life watercolour of home grown squash, beetroot and a bunch of garlic from my finca in a natural setting but I had difficulty arranging a composition. Eventually I placed the produce on a high wicker chair and encouraged my chickens to come around. Two of my white hens and Guido, my Araucana cockerel, obliged.

Blue chair in the shade. To set up another composition for a lockdown watercolour at my home I placed this old chair under the nectarine tree in my finca in Andalucia. I liked the contrast of the light and shade. The hens, always appreciative of human company, came to see what I was doing and posed obligingly.

The garden of the Mosque in Granada is a peaceful oasis in the Albaicin where you can escape the crowds of tourists that gather nearby in the Mirador de San Nicolas. I last painted this scene six years ago. The gardens have since matured so this, my latest painting, is quite different but the view of the Alhambra from here never changes.

Gypsy boy enjoying summer. Sonia Pascual.

The fishing port of Almería is an inspiring place to paint on a Sunday morning when the harbour is full of colourful boats which are reflected in the calm water. Above, watching over the Mediterranean, is the old Moorish castle, the Alcazaba.

It is not only the views of the Alhambra from the top of Cuesta Victoria which make this a delightful scene to paint. The cobbled street which climbs up from the Rio Darro, the lovely old buildings and the trees with their autumn leaves add colour, interest and texture to this good composition for a watercolour.
