The longing for Spring is immensely and so I'm very happy to discover all these tiny signs of awakening spring flowers in my garden. Inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com Jean Haines Online Art School.

The changing colors of fading hydrangeas are pure autumn poetry for me and every autumn I'm inspired to transform some of their verses into a watercolor. Painting on canvas is something I really love too, it opens a lot of new possibilities and ways and let me grow as an artist. Inspired by www.watercolourinspiration.com of Jean Haines I use a little bit Aqua Ground from Schmincke and a hint of gold. It looks so amazing that I took some macro shots to show you the effects.

Porquerolles is the biggest of the three islands of Or in the Hyeres gulf. The village was first built in 1820, the lighthouse in 1837, and the church in 1850. After being owned by a succession of people, the island was bought in 1912 by Monsieur Fournier who apparently bought it as a wedding present for his wife.

Two hundred hectares of grapevines were planted and the vineyard later produced a top-quality wine that was one of the first to be classed "vins des Cotes de Provence". Today the three vineyards on the island produce wine that has an excellent reputation. The vineyards are associated with the Conservatoire Botanique National de Porquerolles which protects the island's heritage and environment. ©provence.web


The whole island is a gem and an insider tip for those who like small and not overcrowded spots for vacation.

FULL SUMMER

The bright shining faces of sunflowers are the perfect sign for the full summer season. For years I'd the idea to paint again a watercolor on canvas and this time I took a normal canvas and start to paint without any preparation of the canvas. And it had worked!! The drying periods were really long, but then I was able to paint in layers. After the complete drying of the painting, it got a fixative for watercolours to protect it.

This is a project I'm looking forward since a long time - a pure watercolor painting on a canvas. The canvas was primed with AQUA PRIMER FINE by SCHMINCKE for several times. Thereafter, I painted the motive with the aid of AQUAFIX so that the colors combine stable with the ground. It is very important for each new color to dip the brush after these steps: WATER - COLOR - AQUAFIX. The finished and dry image was finally protected with WATERCOLOR fixative.
