Watercolours of Floating Leaves

Martine painted this jewel - it is such a fantastic peaceful image, I can't stop looking at it.

 

 

During our last session of the summer Season, we took a very Zen subject. and painted very Zen paintings, with 'Floating Leaves' . This worked really well, especially when we drank some champagne! We had a fantastic time, and I'd like to thank all the Aquarellistas for their creative achievements, their loyalty and especially their wonderful presence! Real - or virtual! We will 'Rentrée' in September - and some blogs may appear in the meantime! And then, maybe not!

Jutta found a whole nuw way to paint convincing water, wet-in-wet, using a credit card for the lines. The leaf is so light, it hardly touches the surface. great stuff!

Geneviève did a really good job on the 'floating' yet wasn't too happy with the leaf nor the dewdrops. She may do another version and if it reaches me in time I will put it right below here...

 

This is Shirley's floating leaf. As always a  little bit wilder and brighter than the others - yet amazing in its' complementary colours. I love it, look forward to see more of this stuff in September...

Manuela has been practising during 2 Covid periods and below are some paintings she created during that time, and this is last sessions' result - I am so happy with it! She is really getting it. Well done!

Talking about a Zen painting... Brenda painted this and it is absolutely Fabulous. And calming. And has wonderful colours, reflection and transparency.

 

And last but by no means least, Janine's leaf. It is original and a little bit crazy. Note that upper-background, painted with paynes grey on a wet surface and then moved up and down a bit. What an effect!

 

 

Just in: from Bretagne, Michèle sent us her version of a beautiful floating leaf. I love it that it is created in different weather, 1000km from here, with other smells and other light - and that it still completely fits in. Great work Michèle; looking forward to your contributions next season!

 

And in the meantime...

Also by Manuela these two paintings. One above has an amazing sky that she created during the last session she could attend. And below a tightrope walker. Everything is cool about this painting I'd say, and also it is a very symbolic painting I assume. Super!!
