Mother of Pearl - an amazing Subject for Aquarelle Watercolours!

This week the subject was: 'Mother of pearl'. The colourful, abstract kind:


Everyone loved the challenge and amazing work was created! We concluded that mother of pearl is an inspiring material for both abstract and figurative work! Check it out here:

A marvellous soft abstract in natural colours by Glen

Isabel D. created this oyster-like shape with beautiful strong colours

Awesome abstract with mother of pearl glow by Anna-Karin

 Michele F. painted this delicate shell with a silvery glow

Isabelle A.is still working on these interesting meandering lines

This awesome shell with a true mother of pearl shine on a dotted background was painted by Judith

A true abstract, completely without recognizable shapes, based on mother of pearl. To be finished by Michele C.

A different take on a mother of pearl shell, with lots of depth by Vanessa

Marie-Françoise painted  a landscape abstract, inspired by Mother of pearl

And here's the brilliant painting Carol created, also with pearly shine...

Of course there were also other subjects, one of them the 'Dahlias' of last week:

Judith finished her colourful dahlia - it still jumps from the screen!

Three amazing dahlias by Michele C., now with a background!

Marie-Claire wasn't very happy with her flower - but I am, because it looks so spontaneous and loosely painted.

An amazing dahlia by Catherine, she has really done an outstanding job!

All the details in Carols' duck are in place, the background is slightly more mysterious and misty which makes a great contrast with his bravado. Fabulous watercolour!
