Exhibition 50x50 of the aquarellistas

On Friday 23 May, the '50x50' exhibition of the Aquarellistas will take off! 

We are very busy organising, creating invitations and doing the last work on the paintings!

There will be receptions and private viewings, the exhibition is open all day both Friday 23 and 30 May and the vernissage will be on Friday 23 May, from 5 - 7pm

Artothèque – Ancienne Mairie
1er étage
Rue Grande
Valbonne

Here is a preview of (most of) the paintings:

The paintings are 20 x 20 cm, carefully framed in black and white frames and they will cost 50€ per piece.

An ideal gift for Mothers' day!

The aquarellistas are:
Agnès McLaughlin, Anna-Karin Fast, Cathie van der Stel, Constanza Rock, Elia B., Liz Douglas, Marina Kulik, Nusch Semo, Orjan Rinnert, Pauline Bull and Sandra Seymour-Dale

Drawing Outside - Mondaymorning, with Pim de Jongh

Every other Monday morning, Pim takes a group outside, to draw... The same principle as the 'Hangar Spring Trip' - only shorter, and therefore also a possibility for people who cannot come along for a week...

Last time his group went to Notre Dame du Brusc, one of our favourite spots and here are two resulting drawings:

 From Lucia

and from Patience

Exhibition Pre-announcement

From 23 May - 1 June, the Aquarellistas will exhibit exquisite small paintings in the Artothèque of Valbonne. The paintings will be 20x20 cm, beautifully framed, and they will cost 50€ each.

We will post official invitations to the vernissage and receptions later, so watch this space

Here's a preview of the poster - French and English version:

 SELFIES - Part 2

As promised, here are the selfies of the rest of the group! It is so much fun to create them, some of us painted them for each other - that's why 'some people' (Orjan, Anna-Karin) actually have two!

Abstract Vibes: Zooming in

Last Sunday yours truly and co-teacher Nelly went to Theoule to check out the Abstract Vibrations expo.
After seeing all the pictures and reading the raving reviews of the participants, our expectations were mile-high! And the exhibition met them! It looked extremely professional, and the combination, the colours, the way the paintings and sculptures were positioned was excellent. Eyecandy -for lack of a better word. We were there for more than an hour and saw it all. We made close up pictures of some of the 'exiting' moments in the paintings... See if you can find them when you visit!!

 

 

 

 

 

Abstract Vibes: the sculptures

I have not yet read about the sculptures, so let me start with giving Christie and her crew a big fat compliment. What a fantastic work! Abstract -and deeply inspiring. Here are a couple of pictures - but you really have to go there to see for yourself!

ABSTRACT VIBRATIONS III , Vernissage, yesterday, was a big succes!. Thanks to all of you for coming....
