Aquarelle - Tuesdays from 2 - 4.30pm

The Aquarellista Cocktail Calendar

 

 

Every year the Aquarellistas of Centre des Arts 'Le Hangar' create a calendar, with an aquarelle for every month! We are in the finishing stages of the 2014 project, we are finished actually, but now the calendars have to be printed. We expect to have them within 2 weeks, can't wait!

 

This year's issue celebrates the beauty of cocktails, their transparency, their vivid colours, and of course their promise... Some of the pictures are so good that you can almost taste them!

 

Next to the very well executed aquarelle watercolours are the recipes and for some a little anecdote, in French and English, to inspire you all year round... Featured cocktails are strong ones like the Rusty nail and the Earthquake, but also the Bella Luna and Halloween, alcohol-free cocktails, with a twist. The calendars make excellent Xmas presents and will be for sale in the Hangar and other places!

We will keep you posted about all of that, don't you worry! ☺

Glass and transparency

 Roses by Agnès - spontaneity works!

 

The Aquarellistas have been working hard for the 'Pure Nature' exhibition (still open every day from 10am - 6pm, with plenty of gorgeous paintings and sculptures to be admired) so we felt we deserved a different subject. And because we are working on a calendar for 2014, with recipes and aquarelles of 'Coctails' we worked on a related subject: the way glass breaks the light and changes an object if you look through it... Above and below a couple of examples, it worked out really well for all of us!!

And what I personally love about it is the difference in styles from our group!

Bubble-glass by Christiane.

This is SO well done, super transparent and great shape and colour, it is clear that she has 'got it' now!

'Rusty Nail' by Liz

 

Work in progress, already stunning! Not quite sure of the name of this cocktail, I'll check asap

2 yummy cocktails by Véronique...

 

She started this painting last year, wasn't happy and finished it now, proving that sometimes you need some distance to recognise what's good and what needs a little touching up!
