This week the Watercoloring challenge is taking a look at this tutorial about watercolor values with a limited palette and a simple tree with puffs of color to resemble cotton balls. You can see the video here on YouTube.
This is a shot of first layer of paint drying on the table. The shell pink I used is this one from Holbein and it feels a little thick and Gouache like to me, not quite as transparent as Daniel Smith paints.
Second layer of paint with a swatch of the paints used and the brushes. I did prefer the artist version with the gel pen dots added to the scene but, the only gel pen I have good results with is a white one or a clear stardust one and I felt like, this was something that would look better with a darker shade of ink so, I skipped that step.
I wasn't really sure if I would actually do anything with this painting so, it surprised me that I did make it into a little card. the square dies from the Spellbinders 6" square sets ( A & B ) were used here to cut the Papertrey Ink smoky grey paper frame to go over the painting for a CAS look. This one finished out at 5 1/2" square in real life. That's about it from me, thanks for stopping by. If you'd like to play along with us, this challenge can be found here at Splitcoaststampers.
