Diamonds are... great in watercolours!


Celina was looking on google for a yellow diamond-example, and ran into the Feng Shui 'Sun Catchers', so instead of a diamond that's what she ended up doing. And it is fabulous while definitely catching the sun!!

The last Challenge before 2021was to paint a diamond. A complicated task, but the Aquarellistas had until the second week of January to finish it! And the results are amazing. I hope everyone is back on track, and healthy and full of new and creative impulses, you can look forward to a new series of nice challenges, hopefully soon in the Hangar and Les Adrets!


It was Michèle who painted this wonderful diamond - one wonders what size it is! Beautiful and well done, it very much sparkles!


True to style, Sue's blue diamond (in the rough) is a
mixture of wet on wet technique and wet on dry paper ! She also recommends it is best viewed from a distance 😀. Proof that that isn't true shown here! It is wonderful in all respects.
 
Anna Karin made an absolutely stunning  diamond. II love it and it is so well done. It has the 'usual' original quality of her work, but I am wondering if she did this with her big brush? Depends on the size of the painting I guess - but in any case it is amazing!
 
 

Jutta was one of the first, to produce this amazing and refined diamond. Her title: 'Kaleidoscope' reflecting all the hopes and  things to look forward to in the new year... It has gorgeous sparkles and sharply reflects the background, giving it so much more impact.
 
So happy to see this painting, by Brenda - who works with us from Isle of Man - or South Africa, will ask her! It is very cool, and looks like one you'd like to own. Well done!!
 
We have a new Aquarellista, Rosemarie, who picked up on the 'chrystal' element. She will work with us from Holland! Her colours are very warm and the depth of her interpretation reminds me of someone
😀. More on this later...


And for those of you who are seeing all this and want to try painting a multi-faceted object here's the link to the demo-video once more:
