Cette fleur m'a causé bien des soucis. Nous avions un bouquet de quelques tiges de Physallis à peindre lors de l'atelier de Michel Bertrand , mardi dernier et ce fut un fiasco.Enervée et déçue je décidai de recommencer en m'aidant d'un tableau d'un aquarelliste. Le résultat m'apparut tout aussi décevant.
Je peux être parfois très obstinée ! Aujourd'hui, j'ai donc refait une petite aquarelle sur mon carnet Moleskine à partir d'une photo, et ma foi je suis relativement satisfaite.
"Chinese Lantern": I tried to paint these flowers for last tuesday watercolour class and it was a fiasco. Disappointed , I decided to paint them again with the help of a watercolour painting.. just as bad..A bit stubborn, I tried again today from a photo; I'm pretty happy with it !!...
You captured the translucent element of these flowers beautifully!
RépondreSupprimerWell, you certainly picked a challenging subject, but you nailed it! nancy
RépondreSupprimerThese are lovely - such beautiful things to draw. I like the way that they have a slightly angular appearance and you have really captured that.
RépondreSupprimerOh Martine, you certainly did get their lighter-than-air, transluscent quality. Well done.
RépondreSupprimerI love the name "chinese lanterns", much more fun than physalis... My children love the fruits, and I love the sheerness of the flowers, that crumble when the kids eagerly reach for the insides. I haven't tried to draw or paint them though, it seems very difficult! But you did very very well, especially the yellow one is perfect!
RépondreSupprimerI've seen these before! And yes they are very pretty... I feel that if they could talk they'd be talking about how proud they are right now to be drawn by Martine! ^^ I really like the mixed colors in the background too.
RépondreSupprimerYour chinese lanterns are beautiful. I really love these. My mother used to always have dried bouquets of chinese lanterns when I was little.
RépondreSupprimerLovely. Love the colors and the detail.
RépondreSupprimerThey look so delicate! You've captured them perfectly. Good job on your perserverence; it has paid off well!
RépondreSupprimerI think they are bright and happy! And the way the stems almost touch - it's a love story, no doubt. Nicely molded. I especially like the green lines on the yellow one.
RépondreSupprimerA lovely delicate painting, it looks like the light is shining through them, well done!
