OCC - Watercolour Made Easy

WATERCOLOUR MADE EASY

Okay, last card from me today and I better get cracking on days 9 and 10.

On day 7 Jennifer Rzasa shared some great tips to make watercolouring easier.  I found them to be a great help as I'm a beginner with watercolour.

 

First I painted the basic shape of my feather with just plain water so when I come in with the watercolour, the paint will run along the already wet areas allowing the colour the spread.  Then I go in with a smaller brush with fresh paint for the finer details.  I'm not sure if I'm explaining it correctly but it has sure been fun.  Again, with many of these new techniques I'm learning, I had to do it a few times to get the hang of it.  Free hand painting can be scary.



As you can see my feather is not perfect.  But you can tell its a feather right?

Thanks for joining me today.
Hope you enjoyed my card.
Phi

    Phi this is just perfect for our Birds of a Feather optional twist this week! This is gorgeous and yes you can tell it's a feather! There is no such thing as a "perfect" feather especially when it comes to art :) Thanks for playing in our neighborhood at 613 Avenue Create!
