After a couple of weeks of holiday for the Aquarellistas, we're back to paint together, inspire each other and chat - all to make the world a better place of course 😃. Our subject du jour was Gladioli flowers, and as you will see that worked out fine:
Randi opens today's blog, with an awesome watercolour, of a beautiful Gladiolus, that has volume and a fantastic colour, and also a very good and interesting background. Click on the picture to see it larger.
How fabulous is this delicate painting by Jutta. She is still deciding on either a background or leaving it white. We'll see!
Liz will finish this brilliant gladiolus next time she's there. She plans a dark green background, which will make these excellent flowers stand out even more!
Here are Bev's flowers, they are so good! Apart from the stunning colour, both of flower and background I love how she painted shadows...
This painting by Ingrid is almost finished, only the masking fluid for the stamens and pistils. It has the typical sturdiness of a gladiolus and at the same time it is subtle!
In the meantime...
Hanneke created a watercolour of a nude she drew in my Life Model Class. It was not about the proportions but about the shadows and she did a great job, very convincing.
Before she started with the gladioli, Ingrid finished her July landscape. Although it is quite bluish in tone, it looks so French to me. Love it.
We were also very happy to see Judith again, she is always such an inspiration. She added a couple of yellow dots to the painting above, the moving shadows of tree leaves in the sun. Fantastic experiment! She did two more, one in the elementary phase, the other below - I love the misty poetic landscape, with a tiny fragile sunbeam, simple and pure...
