Liz' coloured Party shadows...
Last week the subject du jour was 'Coloured Shadows'. I brought it just for the very small group of aquarellistas who didn't have something to finish. The not-so-hidden agenda was that I want to change the colour-mixing starters' exercise... Basically it explains about the primary colours cyan, yellow and magenta (in aquarelle we often replace them with ultramarine, lemon and alazarine crimson by the way, for better secondary colour effects). When mixed they give violet, orange and green - and all three together give black. It is an important basic exercise...
When you direct lamps in the 3 primary colours on a white screen, the light will appear white - but the shadows will be cyan, yellow or magenta - and where two overlap, they will be green, orange and violet, or three will give black... It looks great, and we tried to mimic this with watercolours & imagination
Andrée created this fun picture - but it didn't inspire her much so she quickly started with 'normal' lace shadows on a face...
Visitor Barbara (back next year) started a girlpower painting with coloured shadows. Well done!
Andrée moved on painting lace shadows on a girls' face
Edith finished her lace shadows - a stunning picture!
Brenda expressed her lace shadows in yet another interesting way...
Celina finished her mosaic shell
