Foreshortning in Watercolours - and the last selfies!

Last week the Aquarellistas took a quite technical subject for once: foreshortening'. That is a facet of perspective that you can paint or draw 'intuitively'. It is the phenomenon of things getting bigger visually when they are close (and smaller when they are further away). 

As you can see we had great fun working on it - and wonderful results as well!!

Sonya is a true horse whisperer and with the input of a small and vague photo she painted this awesome horse - with his' nose very close to the camera 


Judith painted this sweet and cute little boy with really big hands 

Same for this girl in beautiful position with red-hot big fingers!

Anne is the painter of this cute and very tired doggy that stretches its paw to you

This great portrait of a  guy writing on a glass pane with a contrasting green crayon was painted by Corinne

A full colour version of the piano playing little boy was painted in far away Bretagne by Michèle

In the mean time - more selfies were finished for the Hangar Fête de l'été
