Poppies in aquarelle watercolours

 Renate

Summer is finally here! It is hot in the South of France. But inside the Hangar it is reasonably cool and our watercolour group is working hard and full of energy! The poppies are being finished...

 Cathie has found a new favourite subject... Powerful stuff!

 Celina has started a wonderful painting of a conch, combined with... mosaic!

 

Tana tried out one of the exercises from our Hangar Watercolour book:

After a bit of doodling on the paper, fill in all the surfaces with colour. When all is dry, wash it under the tap, with a sponge... As you can see it looks very different - and some colours wash out better than others! Next time she'll give volume to the different shapes...  

Report of the Last Watercolour session of September!

Last week the aquarelle session was in the capable hands of Cathie! It must have been a lovely session, if I see this (incomplete) summary of the  achievements!

 Sandra worked more on her beach houses & will add shadows and more foreground.

 Liz finished her juicy orange segment...

 ...& found a ‘Shirley’ solution to finish of the sky in her boat/building painting.

 Sylvie added some detail to her washed abstract...

 

 Brenda worked on her giant strawberry... She will darken the background next week.

 There was a new aquarellista: Sadia joined for the first time. And to quote Cathie "it was obvious she not only has experience but also talent". Her black grapes will be finished next time....

Edith used masking fluid and salt for the first stage of her beautiful tree landscape.

Renata started this bicycle painting and experimented with the background. Will be very colourful once the detail is added and masking fluid removed.
