Aquerel Lavine
An afternoon in a watercolour painter's studio, told in light and water.
A spot for a paint maker about the slow part of watercolour: rinse jars in the window, colour blooming on wet paper and paintings drying in the last of the sun.
Watercolour is mostly waiting, and Pim wanted a paint advert that let you wait with the painter.
Light through water
I set up by the studio window so the rinse jars would throw coloured light across the table. Each jar holds a different paint, and that’s the only product shot in the film.
“We never show a tube. The water in the jars tells you what’s in the box.”
Pim de Wit, director
Close enough to see it spread
For the blooms we went in on a macro lens while the paper was still wet.
