This week Kia is sharing this video from Creationsceecee that is a bookmark. She does have the image available as a printable sketch but, when I seen that the video is nearly an hour long and I knew I would have to wait until I went to work on Monday to print one. ( printing at home never goes well) I started watching and after about 14 minutes in, I decided the main focus of the tutorial is to start dark to light and blend the paints on the petals leaving white veins. So, I started poking around in my stamps and came across this Stripe Poppy from Impress stamps, and I had hot press Arches in the drawer. So I stamped one with some Versafine Clair morning mist ink.
I decided it was just a trial thing to see how hard it was because, you know she makes it look effortless right?
I did end up moving to a smaller brush as this is a very narrow sliver or space in between the veins & as I started this I knew I did not have the same yellow she used so I started with Burnt Sienna but, ended up moving to New Gamboge and that blended together in a bright happy mix.
I did bounce around doing a petal sliver here and there and such until most of the flower was done.
I did add more of the orange to the crevices to add a little more depth/shadow to this since the petals were more one layer and flat-ish.
After that I finished watching the rest of the video thinking you know there would be something I missed if I didn't and so. It does end with the center of the bloom getting gold gel pen dots for faux stamens or something so. I decided to grab a lime bottle of stickles for dots that shimmer along my stamens.
Before I added the glitter I found a sheet of this Graphic45 print and I cut a hole in the center with a Mat Basics Spellbinders square die and then mounted the watercolor paper behind the hole.
