Joy and creativity - Orange in transparent watercolours

 Liz's absolutely awesome patchwork. Loved, no - adored by all! And rightly so.

Last Aquarellista Session we worked with a colour-theme again; Orange. The colour that symbolizes 'Joy and Creativity' - but also stands for Dutch, and 'is the new Black' and is an important colour for Halloween. In short - many interpretations possible, some of which you can admire below! Above the finished patchwork painting by Liz - fits the orange-bill but was actually from last time. I mainly opened with it because I'm such a fan!

We start with flowers - these poppy's are created by Anna-Karin. She's a true master with the big wet brush, look at this fantastic watercolour!

And how about these orange daisies by Liz - she is really on a roll!

Michèle C has returned from Bretagne - and she did a great job on these orange lilies!

Hélène worked hard on the orange Gerbera she succesfully adapted the background to make the image more sunny

This well-painted delicate little branch with orange leaves was created by Glen. Well done!

Jutta is done with the exercises and now belongs to the advanced Aquarellistas. As you can see, she does a really good job with this long haired 'Ginger' girl within the orange theme!

 Same for Judith - she painted this orange veiled girl with breathtaking light green eyes. What an expression... Well done!

And the last orange-themed painting: a big Nemo-clown fish by Celina. Great stuff!!

Non-orange -but fish nevertheless, Marie-Claire's beautiful big and small! I love it.

Brenda water-coloured her outside-sketches, the one above created during drawing class with Pim, below created during our short trip to Tourtour! Both looking fresh and spontaneous.

Nearing completion, Maud's commission! 
The name of the restaurant and some small tweaks and it will be done and dusted...

 Two watercolours were finished, this one is Jutta's, with a black tear on the apple...

 Judith's hand - hesitating to take the apple - which almost looks as if it is moving... So light and carefully painted...

 Ilse worked on the last exercise and did a wonderful job on suggesting the transparency... while that one dried she started on the masking fluid experiment below, and that is looking very good already, almost a shame to take that masking fluid off...
