Hello there,

I have a small question.
Can you use the noun "aquarelle" as a verb?
I have a pice of English poetry lying on the table and the author asked me to check the grammar etc. So that is :"To aquarelle" instead of the rather unpoetic line " to make a watercolor painting of".
Remember, it's poetry and there's always a certain amount of freedom within poetry. Nevertheless I want to make sure that he's not saying something overly stupid.

Thanks and greetings from The Netherlands

Dictionaries don't give it as a verb, but, as you say, poetry has extra licence.;-)
