”Conspiracy of Silence‘ by Agnes-Cecile (Silvia Pelissero) is just one of dozens of luscious watercolors the Italian artist is known for. Take a look at this fascinating speed-painting she completed in 90 minutes as part of the 1000drawings project.
Agnes-Cecile’s Watercolor Speed Painting
Got something to say? Go for it!
What a wonderful artist. Its great to see the actual process.
I know, don’t you love seeing the work being done? Thanks.
Love. Love. Love. I’m a huge fan of water-colour painting and adore seeing that medium used in such an innovative way.
I agree that she’s so talented. Thanks.
Wow! To have that talent! Cheers!
Yes, agreed, don’t I wish.
Wow! So many things I love about it! 1. The watercolour technique – so subtle and so difficult (I never know how to use it), reminds me of Chinese painting (you have to be quick and once it’s on the paper, you can’t just paint over it like in oil painting)
2. portrait painting – an art I feel is largely forgotten in the era of abstract art (I don’t have anything against abstraction, but I dislike the approach of many abstract artists to portraits: as if it was beneath them to paint people and abstract art was somehow more meaningful）。Thanks heaps， this is great！
You’re so welcome oolung. That’s an interesting perspective you’re expressing. I know what you mean about portrait painting, which is of course one of the reasons she is so appealing. Thank you for taking the time to leave those comments.
Reblogged this on and commented:
very very skilled watercolour artist!
Wow. I’m blown away by the talent and skill. Where does that vision come from? What a gift that the artist has obviously nurtured with hard work and love.
I agree on the mystery of vision, especially with this artist’s work. She’s so accomplished and yet her work is not heavy with obvious technique.
She is absolutely amazing. I just can’t imagine how she can keep such an image in her head and compose it so fluently.
Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing more.
That’s a very good point about her fluency, given that this work only took her 90 minutes. Thank you for your comments.
WOW. She is very TALENTED!
She works with speed, but then it turns out so realistic. She is very talented. I love the video approach with this. I could watch again, and probably will. Really nice work!
True, the painting is very realistic, even though there’s a bit of abstract to it. I’m with you on the video. It’s wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
