NO LINE WATERCOLOR

In today’s post, there are two videos.  I will have several more vides scheduled on YouTube over the next several weeks.  Please click here to view all the video’s I have available.

I recommend using more water than I did when you are coloring your image.

The image on the left was stamped uisng the brayer technique while the one onthe right was stamped using a traditional “smoosh” method.  The detail in the left is more clear than the one on the right.  However both techniques are fairly easy to do.

One of the easiest panels I have colored as of late.  I am just beginning on this journey of water color and feel that having really good supplies such as the Windsor and Newton Watercolors (Amazon –click)    

I also enjoy the Tambi watercolor paints my son gifted me for mother’s day.  In full disclosure, I am hoarding that set, as the gift as well as his thoughtfulness are appreciated. As well as his current service to our country in the US Army.

I also recommend cannon xl watercolor paper, it is available at your favorite big box retailers.  I am certain there are much more expensive watercolor papers available, however I am just beginning my journey and feel it appropriate to share based upon my current use and needs.

One of the only real tips I have for you is to be patient with yourself and showyouself grace.  There is no shame (just a twinge of heartache) in tossing a failed piece into the garbage.  If it is more encouraging, keep it as a reminder of where you began.  No one starts out as an expert.  Maybe VanGough, but certainly no other artist…
