I met a wonderful artist in Sintra called Almeida Coval, so I made a video showing his watercolor painting techniques.

Jose then asked me to come back and make another video showing how he paints flowers, and rather surprisingly, another showing his martial art techniques.

Almeida’s life is a mystery, but presently he lives with his lovely family in the centre of old Sintra, in an art gallery that has one of the best views I have seen on this planet. We have been lucky to have shared meals in the gallery, whilst watching the sun going down over the main palace just across the square, with the coast of Portugal a short distance to the West.
