Aquarelle-Tuesday from 2 - 4.30pm - with Marina

 Mushrooms & Much More...

 Last week there was a board meeting in the Hangar, and we didn't have time for a 'line up'. I promised to write my comments about the paintings in our blog, so here they are...

 Celina painted these cantharelles - they have her clear and determined signature - and don't they look tasty!

André's 'mother and baby' mushroom has worked out so well! With an extra compliment for the dewdrops

Sandra's wild mushroom is now finished - there are 5 animals in it, click  the pic toenlarge and find them...

 

 Michele's autumn picture (L) is almost finished, she used light colours and they Are Working! My only remark would be, to leave parts white only on the sunny side for a slightly more 'logical' picture (R, photoshopped)... 

This is the feeling of October in Sweden - created by our Swedish correspondent Bibbi! So full of atmosphere and of a natural simple beauty...

  

And how about these old pots with hydrangeae, by Cathie! Another masterpiece for the flowershop, almost finished (some shadows still needed)

Carol finished her Oil paint tubes still life - and it is amazing! So well done - nothing but compliments!

Liz also worked on her tube still life, added a couple of tiny shadows - and now it is perfect. Interesting by the way to see the different styles of the two artists!

Magnificent reflection of a winterpinguin with Santa hat! By Elia B. -who else - funny and so well-painted

Another funny one, by Michele, of Santa taking a selfie. She will finish it next time, adding more contrast and details, but the funniness is already in!

 

 Colourful Kingfisher by Sylvie. She will lift some of the blue to show the feathers better, add a shadow here and there and then it will be finished!

 Apart from the tube-still life, Liz started a view on the colourful village of Amalfi (Manarola?) Funnily enough it looks quite wintery in its unfinished stage, next week there will definitely be more sun in it!

André worked on this 'Roaring Twenties' girl - it's looking promising already! Hair and hairband need to be painted, and then some work on the hand and the shoulder. Plus some details...

Lovely still life with grapes by Tana. Looks like the effect of salt is now completely under control - great! I love the soft shine on the grapes - and look forward to seeing it finished, with shadows in place...

Agnes started another wonderful painting of a classic car - look at those wheels!!!! If you want to see it finished, click here to go to her blog 

 And the new girl in town (Michele 2) fit in immediately! She did her starters exercise really well and did an extra one with complementary colours!
