Wet-in-wet technique, and then some - in watercolours, what else?!

The session of last week was dedicated to wet-in'wet painting, the most well-known technique in Aquarelle, where you work with a wet brush on a wett surface. You need lots of patience, and insight in when it is just right for a certain effect. It was great fun, but we are not 'there' yet 😀

Anne ambitiously went for a wet-in-wet seascape and she pulled it off! The woman's talent is unbelievable,

It is looking so good!

Thecla worked on her design for the geometric abstract landscape (no photo) and experimented with wet-in-wet. She tried out all the techniques and combinations and had a lot of fun as well as discoveries, with granulating pigments and colours that change completely during the drying time. Next week the next stage, with the blue tape removed!

Like Thecla, I also experimented a bit, with very wet backgrounds and flowing colours and then gold leaf, 0,1 fineliner and one-hair brush. It was fun and opens a ton of possibilities. 

 

Anna Karin is always working wet-in-wet, in all of her objects. She continued with her version of Fauvist Derain painting and will decide next week if she is going to leave lots white or do all the colours. In both cases there is no doubt in my mind that it will be superb.


Ingrid also started with her version of  'The Turning Road' and although not yet finished, it is very fauvist in every aspect. Full of bright colour, daring shapes and lively. It is great to see all those interpretations!

 

Sandra's Superb still life is slowly developing, a wonderful process, where every colour invokes another one and lots of choices are to be made all the time. so interesting! and Beautiful.
