Crumpled paper - a cool subject for watercolours

We had a good time painting last week's subject: crumpled paper. It is a delightful combination between very precise painting and objective abstract observing! And as an extra element Dark, Light and Shadows.
Shape not too important as no one knows exactly what a crumpled paper looks like. Below 4 very different styles, in no particular order and I am sure you believe them all!


First of all Roxane's: It was quickly painted 'live' from a real crumpled piece of paper. And because it is quite abstract, there is so much more to see! I love it.


Amazing work by Charlie. What a beautiful, peaceful  painting. This was quite small, but I can imagine that it could also work on a much larger scale. O, and I see a smiley face in it...


Corinne painted this one, a bit less crumpled but so perfect in colour and light/dark balance! The lines make it extra believable. Super well done.


And Martin's painting, without any pencil drawing!  It looks like a hydrangea (his words), 
Complicated, thorough work, spot on for the colour. (And I see a face again).


WIP by Laura, she did such a good job on these cup cakes. They look sweet and will no doubt be very popular once they adorn the spare bedroom 😄


Roxane also finished her Teddy bear-painting-present. It is a combination of memories of the landscape and the favourite toys of her friend. She will no doubt make that friend happy with such a thoughtful gift

And last but not least, in our Expo Corner:
