Posters for the Cote d'Azur - French Riviera, painted in Watercolours

The subject of last week, to create a poster for the French Riviera, was a challenging one! Almost none of the Aquarellistas in the South of France got the whole thing done and we decided to spend the next session to finish the job. So note that the affiches below are mostly works in progress (WIP) .

But first 2 exceptions - our correspondent in Bretagne worked a bit longer on it and created this beauty! Well done Michèle!

For the coming weeks Tony is our correspondent in Frankfurt and he too finished this amazing and complete poster, with all the ways to get to the Côte d'Azur. He has not forgotten anything if you ask me. Except maybe a spaceship 😃. Very original!

Ingrid is working on her version of an existing poster by Roger Broder for PJM (the most popular choice) and it is exciting to see all those different takes. Can't wait to see them finished.

Another interpretation, by Sue. Great to see her colours, the greens and blues are different mixes of turquoise and ochre...

Brenda picked another example, very representative for our area, with anchoring boats on the med, eucalyptus trees and a nice villa...

Anne used the same inspiration and her version is looking gorgeous as well - and very different, but we can't say anything yet as none are finished! Exciting...

Martine's WIP is amazing already! She joked that at this point there are ghosts in the foreground but that will change in the next round. Can't wait to see it finished...

And the last of the posters is painted by one of our correspondents from the UK, Barbara. It is finished and it has writing on it - it must have been a lot of work! Well done Bar, love it!

And in the meantime...

Charlie started & finished her peppers and mennnn do they look sharp & fabulous!! 

Janine also gave the peppers a try - hers are more soft and I really love the soft and warm atmosphere she has achieved using ochre. She also very loosely painted an avocado and two onions in 2 minutes. Good stuff!

And we finish with Sue's simple and loose bouquet. It looks lovely, could be a wonderful postcard...
