Mushrooms - a wonderful subject for Watercolours!

The latest Aquarellista sessions we painted all kinds of mushrooms. It was very rewarding to do; from realistic to imaginary! There were also other subjects - and we have a Denise corner today! But first, check out these beautiful impressions of mushrooms...

It took Corinne less than an hour to paint these delicate little guys. She's so clever & fast, we all admire this! And she is getting better every week... After this she painted a little dog with an I-am-so-sorry-face - see below. That was another hour. Amazing.

Glen used one example as inspiration and designed 3! She will give them names and a description and make a whole story of it. So cool! And below a luminous mushroom, a wonderful subject in itself that we will revisit some day. Great effect!

Ingrid painted this amazing landscape with mushroom and added - very appropriate- a gnome. Can you find it? 

This poetic luminous mushroom was painted by Anna. It became luminous when she painted the background. It is the kind of mushroom you want to see in the forest...

In the meantime...

Tony did what he does best, paint the environment. The Hangar can use this drawing as an example! It is so accurate, big compliment!

Here's the doggy that definitely has done something to be ashamed of, Corinne calls his expression 'Penaud' if I remember the word correctly! 

 

Meet Sonya's Magazine clipping, or rather, don't meet it because it has disappeared (ok, the borders stick out but otherwise you wouldn't know where the clipping ends and the painting begins) I am in awe. also about the endless creative imagination that this piece of magazine released. It is awesome Sonya!

Just to prove my point... 

The finished 'La Joconde' (French for Mona Lisa) exquisitely painted by Brenda! A lot of work but the result is absolutely fabulous


Sandra's Siren - almost finished. An experiment with watercolours and texture medium on canvas!


And as promised The Denise Corner: 

Denise has worked very hard at home and finished a lot of work. It is all good and interesting (and recognisable! Do you see why and how?) so I did not make a selection and just put all of it here! 

Lots of blue glass to begin with, and what a good job she did here! The actual box, and a close-up, both in typical Denise colours...

 

She also finished her 'magazine clipping' (so clever!!) as well as the painting that was inspired by a magazine clipping, yet came out as something completely different - and stunning! Interesting, delicate, weird - and completely believable. Love it.
