Three images
I wasn't too happy with the first two, so at the last minute I added an illustration using one of my doodle characters. I worked hard on paring down the details to achieve the simplicity - this is version 5!
A quick postcard sized watercolour to get me started, followed by a digital illustration in photoshop.
I used a map of Spain, Portugal and North Africa as a base and a rainfall map of Spain as inspiration.
As it turns out, the rain in Spain falls mainly in the North.
There is a wonderful creative community on facebook - 52 Week Illustration Challenge. It's called a challenge, because we each challenge ourselves to produce an illustration every week following a prompt set by the group's admin. I think of it as a community because there is a huge amount of support and encouragement amongst its members to have faith in our work and to grow as artists. (There I said it, 'artist'!)
