Beads in watercolours


 Celina's amazing fantasy beads, I love everything about them! The pattern, the colours, the shape and the shadow...
Last week we had the fullest full house ever - and you can probably believe that it was a very productive Tuesday afternoon! With so many different styles, I can't stop being impressed and enthusiastic. Above and below the subject du jour, 'Beads', followed by a collection of other watercolours:
Totally gorgeous beads by Ilse. What a wonderful take on the subject. Well done!

 a lovely bunch of colourful shiny patterned beads, well-painted! By Michele F.

Judith's challenge: a couple of differently sharpened and shaped glass beads. Not finished - but already working and such warm colours!

A couple of metal beads, with wonderful details visible, and still the recognizable robust style we expect from Liz!


Very beautiful and well-painted, these shiny, contrasty glass beads by Michele C!! 

The starters exercise with  8 strong marbles -and a couple of yummy black olives. By Diana

 
 Isabel D painted 'boules' as a first-ever watercolour and she did such a good job! (and she's in the picture 😊)

And outside of the subject there was a lot going on as well - here are some paintings in random order:

 
 Carol started on these apples - the 'Odd one out' (or L'Intrus -the intruder- in french...) awesome, although we are not jealous of the work on 10 more green apples. But she'll make it happen!l

 SylvieM did a fantastic job on her fish-commission and finished another portrait in the series 'exotic women'
 
Carol's fantastic, achieved, amazing, gorgeous patchwork. We are all in awe!

Anna-Karin's poppies now finished. They have grown into a complete, and utterly fulfilling painting in true Anna Karin-style...fab!

Maud created this harbour view in one afternoon. Great atmosphere! 

Isabelle A. experimented with masking fluid (the spiders' web) and then a bunch of wild colours,thrown on the paper. And the web brings it all together!
 
Jutta is going to practise on this 'Intrus' crocus.. More contrast is needed for a completely achieved image - but she is getting there! And the cute little vase-painting below is also created by her. Loe it!

Brilliant work - but bad bad photo's

This is the FANTASTIC aquarelle of Mireille Bonnaud! Leaves, in a whirling wind. I'll take a better picture of this one and post it again next week!

The aquarellista group has been working hard and motivated on a couple of things. The starters did VERY GOOD on their next project, "spheres", the others worked on flowers and began experimenting with our theme: "inside/outside"...
But silly me, I pressed some button on my camera and the pictures turned out so small that you can hardly see what's on them!! Luckily most of the work wasn't finished, soI'll get another chance tomorrow!
I will show you the minuscule piccies though, for a preview....




Experiment with spheres by Helen Bate













Butterfly with volume by Mia Schraa

Iris by Brenda Moorehouse (look at that background!!)


Tulips by Sandra Seymour-Dale

She did lots more by the way, on her dried roses series - but you'll have to wait for that until next week, just like Cathie's, Marina's and Ann's work on the inside/outside theme...
