Theme - Turquoise in Watercolours

a turquoise turquoise by Isabelle.

Another great session on Tuesday afternoon, with the Aquarellistas of the Hangar! We had the colour 'turquoise' as our guideline &  inspiration. And as always the results were very different, interesting and inspiring!  The pictures are a bit bluer than the actual paintings, it turned out that turquoise is a hard colour to photograph!

 Isabelle also painted this turquoise stone mask - a bit on the green side, but  o so mysterious!

  

 Sandra has started with a beautiful wreath-like shape, with fantasy leaves (of which some are turquoise). She works on handmade paper, on the wrong side, without top layer. Which absorbs the pigment immediately - and leaves the water on top. Great effects - curious how this will look when finished!

 Glen has finished the basics of this window with turquoise shutters. I love the south french light & shadow! Needs a bit more contrast in the window itself for an even more exciting effect, that I'm sure she will do perfectly!

 Sylvie combined her favourite colour with her favourite way of working, the mosaic, into this composition. Is she going to leave the middle white? I'm curious!

Amazing mask of turquoise stones, by Liz. Super well done! 

Anna-Karin is back and she experimented with fantasy-landscapes, using turquoise. We all agreed that all three are awesome - and different -  but o so recognizable as Anna-Karin's

Anna Karin used round shapes in the last of her three watercolours. Works so good as a foreground

Liz' round shapes of the odd one out also work excellent on their own...

And the last one in this weeks'  Liz - collection: a very good evening painting! with violet, that is so much warmer than paynes grey for instance...

More evening paintings: the starters exercise is now finished 

 Judith finished hers - we agreed it is super and looks like a cruiseship

 And so did Jutta - and hers looks like Cinqueterre!

Our three starters are almost done with their must-have exercises!  Next week I will present the 3 versions of the last one, a pair of eyes behind an elegant black mask...and here's a preview, created  by Ilse
