Animals with beautiful eyes, painted in watercolours

 

 

These two tiger pups are a pleasure to look at! so many elements make this a lovely watercolour - the bright light, the contrast with the dark background, the reflection - and most of all their expression, there is so much there! A very big fat compliment to Ingrid for this delightful painting! 

So many submissions this week! It is clear that Aquarellistas love painting their animals with beautiful eyes. I am proud of what you created, every single painting has a very personal touch - and it shows the talents that you all have! And other great stuff was created as well! Check it all out below - and CU next week!

Sue presents 'Murray', named after the tennis player Andrew Murray, her loose-brush impression  of her brother & sister in law’s dog. Can I mention the detail of the buckle? It somehow makes it so funny...

 

This is so good both as a painting and an expression. There is so much to see in this cat like animal eye, from attentiveness to acquiescence. And the highlight is perfect. I can imagine how she has painted it, with the big pointy brush, in just a couple of direct brush strokes

 

Petit Tigre, the cutest white tiger pup, very precious, painted with love by Michèle - and her other 'ami à 4 pattes' a very funnu doggie with beautiful eyes, titled 'Seule à la maison' or Home Alone. As always painted with humor and persistence!

 

 

 

  

Another beautiful eye, this one painted by Sonya. Also with a lot of attention to the skin, eyelashes and shapes around it, which makes it easy to see that it is a horse. SO soft, muscly and empathic in expression. Fantastic

 

In a completely different style and impact, this happy horsey by Ingrid, another one with beautiful dark background and it is dancing toward us!

 

This is 'Rogue's eyes' by Celina. She painted it while in Oslo and it fits the bill completely, Rogue's eyes are amazing - and his expression, fur, whiskers and ears are so spontaneously painted. Love it

Rosemarie painted this sweet young dog that is standing in the high grass no doubt on its way to happy playful mischief.

 

 

In the meantime there was a lot of other stuff going on, check it out below!

Celina really enjoys the pouring-related exercises and did two more, with a lot of her own creativity and discoveries in it. Both are having the Celina 'signature' in that the shapes are determined and the colours are rich. and both are very inviting to experiment more. I hope we will see more of this, I find it very inspiring.

 

Judith painted 'Emil Nolde revisited' and it qualifies as a 'Veil' painting with that misty transparency, it has a lot of mysterious perspective as well.

And an even more perspective experiment:

 

This supercute painting is from Randi. She is creating a lot of watercolours of memories lately, like this bell tower in the town Nordby on the island Samsø where she grew up on the Southside. It has a bell tower in the town because the church is quite far outside Nordby, and it also tolls in case of fire, so the voluntary firefighters can leave what they’re doing and assist the profs.

And then Just In Time:

The latest version of 'A Veil A Day' - by Judith, what a fantastic project - and how beautiful is this one!
