Drawing Outside with Pim on (alternating) Monday mornings

Only 2 participants for the last 'outside' session with Pim, Lucia (above) and Vicky (below) but; worthwhile! The wonderful old olive tree with a couple of autumn leaves in delicate colours.

Well done girls! And Pim a big compliment for another fantastic subject...

3 November there's a live class and 10 November Pim will build a still life in the Hangar. Highly recommended for those of you who like to draw - and want to practise observing and using all kinds of drawing materials!

Aquarelle on Tuesday 2pm - 4.30pm with Marina

It rained and rained but nobody of the Aquarellistas noticed: we were painting portraits! It is definitely a subject everybody likes - check out the results of Tuesday the 14th!

 Wise Woman by Christine

 

Karen - a portrait with scarf (in progress) by Cathie

Beauty in progress by Edith

Anna-Karin's grand daughter

'Steve' by Brenda (He could be Paul McCartney's twin bro do you agree?)

 'Nigel' by Sandra Seymour-Dale

 Two versions of Christiane's grand daughter - first a thorough practice round in black and white and then the coloured version! Way to go & well done!

 Fabulous painting by Nusch inspired by John Singer Sargent

 And another gorgeous one by Pauline inspired by Roger Oncoy

 

 Vicky started a portrait of her son - by no means finished but getting there...she's joining Cathie and my 'One-hair-brush-club ☺

Lush portrait of classic beauty with transparant dress by Agnès

Fabienne worked on her wash-and-then-add-volume-exercise and did a terrific job!

And Anna-Karin did 2 more portraits, this time of apples, a subject she's very good at and she has lots of commissions for...

And talking about Anna-Karin, on Tuesday 21 October, she will tell us all about the workshop she followed in Bordeaux. It is going to be very interesting! Watch this space for pictures and results!

More portraits...

Last Tuesday the Aquarellista Group proceeded with the portrait project, this time with mostly 'loved ones'. Difficult because you are extra critical on yourself if you know your subject really well... But as always, the results were impressive and in some cases really interesting!

 Work in progress by Anna-Karin 

(Sorry! the camera was still on black and white when I took this)

 Brenda with another touching portrait - shame that the photo doesn't do it justice

 

 Christiane's beautiful babygirl grand daughter. 

A touch to the eyes and she's ready - for the coloured version

Christine's impressive portrait, in progress - more next week!

 Curious little girl by Constanza (a little work needed on the eyes and then it will be superrr!)

Clever little rascal! By birthday girl Edith

Beauty in a veil - fantastic work by Liz

Nusch is back! - she created this wonderful contrasty watercolour inspired by Roger Oncoy

Sandra's Greek god - with poetic circle... intriguing painting! Love the shoulder...

Vicky's portrait, fantastic style!!

In the meantime Avril worked hard on her starters exercises - I love what she did sofar!

And last but not least, Cathie, just back from a short trip to the Carib, worked on one of her rusty still lifes (in progress, focal point coming up) already soo good and interesting!
