Watercolours of Ducklings

Sonya created the duckling that has it all. Fur, innocence, cuteness and you can almost see those little webbed feet moving.

In last week's Aquarellista session the subject was quite challenging to paint: 'ducklings'. Soft, furry, cute and most of the time in the water. But as you will see, a lot was achieved on the Tuesday and the Thursday! While putting them in this blog I was very much "endeared' 😍

Sue painted her duckling in her signature loose style and it is almost abstract. But very fluff and with a fantastic reflection

Barbara (from my group in Les Adrets) paints with us from the UK and her ducklings are serving a double-role as decorations for her new grand daughter.

Marie-Jo joined us for the first time after the crisis. She hadn't forgotten how to paint! Here's her über-cute duckling

Monica used the same example as Sue and as you can see her style is very different, but still the water is so good, as well as the reflection!

Three little rascals by Carol, as always so well painted - and very soft fluff.

This strong and sturdy ducky was painted by Randi. The duckling is wonderful and she has nailed the colours and the contrasts!

Sarah started her duckling, didn't like it much and started an exciting blue flower arrangement. I hope to show that next week, it was just a pencil drawing now that didn't show on the photo

How about Jutta's threesome. They are clearly up to something! And cute as pie...

and last but by no means least, Ducky, by Celina - a brave little fellow. It is funny to see how they all have so much expression!

In the meantime...

Hélène finished her Nordic dolphins - that's q painting that has movement

Fa-bu-lous, the back of an old pocket watch, by Liz. I adore the background with Roman numbers. It's all about time...

Cathie takes a break from experimenting with new subjects and painted these beautiful shoes. Not yet finished, but the rough nubuck is awesome

Judith happily experimented further, here two exciting examples, that now include also a 'dark' element. Development to be continued, she does it for all of us. Love it!
