Antique golden shoes in aquarelle

This subject was perfect for Carol by the look of it! She added character end life to her golden dancing shoes

Our subject of last Tuesdays' session was a success - shame that so many weren't there (Corona virus related: when in doubt, don't come). But the paintings of the shoes are all so fabulous! Ocher, sepia and a bit of yellow creates very convincing gold and I am very proud of the Aquarellistas and their talents!

Michele carefully painted these gorgeous dancing shoes and decided to leave out the dark red fabric they were standing on, to give them more light and 'air'

Monica loved the shoes she was painting but didn't care for the colour, so she used the golden shine of another pair. Look at the result!! They are not yet quite finished but they are super!

Sylvie started with these ballet shoes and they are amazing! Ocher with a touch of perylene, together creating an original colour with a fabulous shine

Vanessa painted these golden dancing shoes. Clearly their owner has danced a lot on them - they are beautifully worn. Well done!

 Françoise is working on these very high heeled and uncomfortable golden brocade shoes.

In the mean time...More Mist

Jutta painted a beautiful misty landscape with river and duckies.

 Anna Karin painted a second version of the misty forest, with ox gall for the lighter trees. Note that 2 layers of ox gall are too much and give spots that don't accept paint...(enlarge picture to see the effect on the left)

 Monica perfected her painting of last week.it is so high up and chilly and you can almost smell the pine trees. Great atmosphere - well done!

Catherine painted these almost abstract Japanese style flowers.

And this bolt with padlock on an old door was so very well painted by Marie-Jo. I think it is an interesting subject for all - we'll revisit that later...
