I've always loved painting snowdrops and to reduce the motive on only the important shapes is a very relaxing and wonderful little funny moment. I must do some more and will add it to this post.

This is so the last of my miniature paintings so far! Finally,
I have free time enough for some larger peace and I can’t wait to start. So excited to create my own painting holidays.

There's not much free time for painting at the moment so I do some more miniatures. Otherwise, I would be missing something.

PAPER: CANSON HÉRITAGE ROUGH 300 g/m²

I'm testing new papers at the moment, it's always a great experience and time for doing little pieces without any pressure on the shoulders to create masterpieces. Yes, it's definitely fun doing this. Canson Héritage is a strong and absorbent 100% cotton paper designed for use with watercolour paints. It is available in two weights, a standard 300gsm and a heavyweight 640gsm. Both weights of Canson Héritage are also suitable for use with coloured or watercolour pencils.
What really sets this robust watercolour paper apart is the sizing, which allows artists to lift paint and to scrub at the paper without deterioration to the surface. It is possible to layer paints, returning to the same image and re-wetting the surface. The ability to make corrections while the paint is wet or after it has dried makes Héritage a very forgiving paper to paint on. This sizing also gives great image clarity, as it does not allow marks to bleed. Sharp edges are retained after the paint has dried.

Ich habe die Challenge mit den 100 #little gems nicht geschafft und dennoch bin ich sehr zufrieden, mit diesem Projekt, 25 sind immerhin ein Viertel. Solche kleinen Formate sind wahrlich nicht meine Komfortzone, genauer gesagt habe ich eigentlich Miniaturen nie besonders gemocht, doch wie so oft, habe ich durch die Teilnahme viel gelernt und freue mich auf die kommenden Challenges in 2019. Von Herzen das Allerbeste Euch allen und ein glückliches 2019!!
I did not manage the challenge with the 100 #little gems, and yet I'm pleased with this project; 25 are at least a quarter. Such small formats are not really my comfort zone; more specifically, I've never really liked miniatures, but as so often, I've learned a lot from attending and am looking forward to the upcoming challenges in 2019. The very best of you all, and a happy 2019!!

Painting with a reduced palette is always a good possibility to think about values, light and shadow. So I started (again) with some fruit- and vegetables still life and here comes the two first.

I love these pink roses with a hint of apricot in my garden, not sure about their name but deeply in love with their attitude.

These lovely old doors with stone walls and hydrangeas are a memory to Brittany. In the first version it's a very rainy day without any sun, but me it was too dark and so I create my own weather and impression with a 2nd painting. Please tell me, which one do you like more?
