Beautiful Origami - in watercolours

 For last Tuesday in the Hangar I suggested 'Origami', the beautifully folded paper, in geometric forms, not everybody's piece of cake! But the heroes who tried had such wonderful result! Not hard and mathematical, but tender and poetic! And technically great, with depth and volume:

The first wonderful example is created by Elisabeth. It is a folded piece of paper, but it has such a very real, light quality to it! Very good.

That also goes for Charlie's paper star. Volume, 50 shades of white and both mystery and poetry.

Anna Karin has a different approach, these geometric shapes somehow remind me of her baby dragon of a couple of weeks ago. That was perfectly round and had pointy shapes 😀 but still. It must be the colours she used, they are similar

Charlie tweaked last weeks' blossoms and they are now really convincing. You can almost smell it has rained, very good atmosphere

Amazing White Cliffs of Dover by Elisabeth. Fantastically done with the white that is not white! Love it.

Anna painted the favourite bird of her husband - the King Fisher. How lucky he is!

Martine's four cute birds on two tree trunks, very well done. But that background! Amazing. (I shouldn't be surpriseded because she pulled it off with the Dali painting as well, she's just really good with red!)

Sylvie's flowers now finished and they are fabulous. We discussed how funny it is that because their movement they make the impression of being in the Deep Sea, although there is no blue in this painting. Good stuff!

Thecla started a project with beautiful abstract shapes in nature. There is more shadow needed to show what's there and to balance the composition, but it looks promising and the subject is so good! I am going to steal it soon, with fossils, Thank yoy Thecla!

And Anna Karin all but finished her stones. She wants to add some yellow or ochre to the background for better balance, although right now it is a moment in time where you see the pebbles falling. But that's my opinion and she is the artist!

And Judith has worked all afternoon on a  portrait in pastel. It is very challenging as the boy has black-rimmed glasses that should not be too dominant. But so far so good, I have all the confidence that she will 'do it again'. More in 2 weeks as she is travelling now!
