Aquarelle Tuesdays from 2 - 4.30pm with Marina

No - this is not a still life, it was our 'tea'...  
left over from the Oil& Watercolour New years lunch

Edith came in with her finished and extended 'je suis Charlie' painting: have a close look at it (click to enlarge) - it contains the word 'Freedom' in all the Hangar languages (and more)...

We spent the afternoon painting 'Zebra's'. It was an incredible challenge! We think it has to do with the stripes (counting) versus being creative with colours - a typical left - right brainhalf crunch! Everyone (yours truly included) was moaning and groaning. But the results....!
 Agnès will replace the masking fluid with black (it already looks fabulous by the way)

 Christine's zebra is so beautiful! And very difficult, but she persevered and now only has to paint the straight lines...

 Edith started with the perfect drawing - this is going to be an exciting composition!
 
Sandra enthusiastically started two aquarelles, one of a zebra & its reflection...

 ...and one that 'Zooms in' on a zebra head. Great experiment with colour


Liz on her way to capture the 'Out of Africa' atmosphere with her version

 none finished but it can hardly go wrong!! More next week...


 O - and last but not least, my stripey moose - remotely resembling a Zebra. 
Should have left out the breast piece...
Not my best work - but it was such fun to be able to participate for once!
