Catherine Fergus said...: Hello Fabio, your watercolors are so wonderful, they give the viewer a lift in their emotions and feelings.; April 17, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Unknown said...: Hi Fabio, there's a geometrical concept here. Great piece.; April 18, 2009 at 12:13 AM
Emy said...: Hello Fábio. I observed that there is not much pressing of the surface.It seems like you easily wash and re-apply colors on the surface. Other stunning watercolor, maybe a geometric, I'm not sure about this, but still transparent.Cool work again.; April 18, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Catherine, thank you. I'm glad you're posting words about inner feelings.; April 18, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Juan, Thanks! Yes, maybe it's geometric, but it's just a study, it's a quick watercolor. I've been painting gladiolos, pink, red, yellow, etc. This study is to understand the flower shapes, etc.; April 18, 2009 at 12:59 AM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hello Emmy, thanks for stoping by again! Yes...There's a correct pressing, how can I explain...you "touch" the paper, you don't press against the paper...And I re-apply just twice..it's the limit.; April 18, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Bill Olsen said...: Fabio, congratulations, your work is fine. What kind of paper do you use?; April 18, 2009 at 1:06 AM

Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Bill, thanks for stoping by. Arches, Fabriano, Guarro, Hahnemuller. Montval for studies..like these gladiolos.

Hi Giovanna, thank you!; April 18, 2009 at 1:27 AM
Cathy said...: I love your gladiolos! I love the way they look a little geometrical, it gives them strength, and the colours make them delicate, so it's a very striking mixture of power and softness; April 18, 2009 at 4:03 AM
Dean Grey said...: I like the light being captured on the petals in this one, Fábio!

Showing depth with yellows can be challenging for me, but you pulled it off in this painting.

Good job!

Steven Raddcliffe said...: Hi Fabio, what a lovely new watercolor. Love the geometric approach. Great.; April 18, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Cathy, thanks again for your words!

Hi Dean..yes, I try not to paint with "yellow ochre" because it's opaque..I think this painting is not so transparent as I wanted...But it's the first one. I've been painting red, pink, white gladiolos. I'll post them later. Thanks for your opinion.; April 18, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Jean...thanks a lot! Yes, I think that a background can add depth and light (contrast). I work with the main subject and the backgroud at the same time. Thanks again for your words.; April 18, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Fábio Cembranelli said...: Hi Steven..thank you!Yes...geometric approach? Maybe, I don't know. Thanks again!; April 18, 2009 at 9:16 PM
