Corinne painted the big character that translates into LOVE. She added a background in soft tones with more characters and thus created a composition that would be fantastic for a Japanese film poster.
Martine also created a poster-like image, started with a background and then practised her spontaneous side, with a big brush and using lovely words, like respect and royalty, life and happiness
To translate use this chart:
And here's her practise page
Anna did a perfect 'Love' character and experimented with the background. She's not too happy about how that worked out, and I agree. The great thing about watercolours is, that is is quite spontaneous, you can learn from your 'mistakes' and just start again you on a new piece of paper!
Thecla spontaneously painted 'Life' (above) and then 'Fire' - in that way painting her last name, which means Fire. She also started a quite technical abstract, inspired by her travels in Mauritius the last weeks, It is still pencil-only but hopefully we will see it in painting stages one of these weeks!
Charlie painted a lot of these little Japanese fish, in quick strokes. This one I think was the best, so transparent and quick, like the carps themselves. You feel their moves. Great idea!
Laura has a very steady painting hand! I love everything about this painting, the colours, the style and the sturdy elegance. Well done!
And lastly, a magnificent character by Roxane, Not sure what it is, but the handwriting is perfect - you can see she means it. Determined, bright and elegant. Love it!
Next to a lot of other characters, Roxane painted this amazing landscape in the last 5 minutes. So simple and at the same time it tells a lot! So cool that snow on the mountain, just by leaving white!
Anna finished her leaves in the early sunlight
And Martine added some green to the black background of her plants. I would have thought improving would be impossible, but yes, it is even better now!
