Lion
A lively watercolour full of movement. The chosen colours are brilliant. The blue that is so uncharacteristic of the lion does very well in this work. This makes the yellow stand out. As if the sun has given its glow to the lion. It is nice that the background in the bottom right corner is so dark. It gives the work a lot of light. Striking are all those white thin hairs. Not too many and not too few. The lines suggest the fur. So well done amid all those shades of blue, and grey and green. Could the nostril have been even darker? It helps indicate the depth of the nostril. This work is bursting with spontaneity, boldness and strength.
My Mother
How attractive are the colours in this work! The warm and cool blues juxtaposed against the warm translucent skin. This work is done with an eye for great detail. The shimmer in the glass is so convincingly done. By making clever use of the white paper. It is also nice that the background has been kept so simple and slightly translucent. The portrait stands nicely in the plane. Supported by the dark left side, breathing towards the right side. Most attention is drawn to the beautiful skin of the face and hands. The artist understands his craft. Hé is a master of water and colour. Keep making such delightful works!
