drawing challenge: W A T E R

 







without water there is no life
but in this part of the world clean drinking water from the tap is very common

a quarter of the Netherlands lies below sea level and might come under water
if there were no dikes and dunes

weeks ago i saw the interview with Geurt Busser, the Wadden painter (sorry, only in Dutch)
every day he paints the Wadden with watercolors
standing in the water, working with water
while the wind and rain affect his work

that's what i've tried
painting with water


please visit all the other participants for more W A T E R:

Ariane, Barbara Bee, Tammie Lee, Susan Christensen,

Stefanie Seltner, Céline, Kristen, Mano, Tania, Kim Henkel,
Eric (welcome!!) and Veronica and Norma !!


zonder water is er geen leven
maar in dit deel van de wereld is schoon drinkwater uit de kraan heel gewoon

een kwart van Nederland ligt onder de zeespiegel en zou onder water komen te staan
als er geen dijken en duinen waren

weken geleden zag ik het interview met Geurt Busser, de Waddenschilder
elke dag schildert hij de Wadden met waterverf
staand in het water, werkend met water
terwijl de wind en de regen invloed hebben op zijn werk

dat is wat ik heb geprobeerd
schilderen met water

  1. mooi, mooi, i will go check out Geurt Busser's, i find what you say about his task very intriguing. and water colours... it is a challenge i find myself daunted by, but also very, very curious.
    thus i made it, through hell and high water... still at sea at this end, but hopefully reaching the shore before long.
    loved the theme! n♥

  2. painting with water - he is a fascinating painter Geurt Busser.
    Patrice, sister, I love the drops on the first picture and I love your painting, too! It has a great atmosphere and it´s soft. I had water in my mind and with me the last days, so good to think and feel it, thank you for that theme!

  4. Wonderful images. And how hard to draw or paint water. It has no form. I love the drops.

  7. what beauty you have created in something I take for granted (or at least in the part of the world I live in). The drops and word art you created are so beautiful - I love the depth you have captured in them. The watercolour paintings too - the soft changing colours of water is always breathtaking. Thanks for the theme - it definitely had me thinking.

    Love the strong graphics on this post. The water against the grain of the paper. Makes me want to pick up my sumi-e brushes. Well, actually, that is what happened. Your post made me want to pick up a brush and some nice paper, and so I did. I made a little book of course! *smiles* Norma, x
