A riot of colour on the Canary Island of Tenerife!
Sky-blue, palm-green, lava-black, earth-ochre, sunset-orange-yellow-red - and all the colours our watercolour box has to offer.
We are enchanted by the light, the colours and new shapes of the south. Sea, beaches, small towns, mountains and gorges. Motifs and contrasts everywhere!
