Washi Masked Watercolor Cards.




Here is a simple technique to try. 
Thin washi tape is useful not just for painting swatches, it’s great for cards as well!i
These cards would be great for guys or teenagers.

The Magic of Cling Wrap and Watercolor! Fun Technique!


 Talk about playtime fun! These cards were so easy, anyone can do it, but the results were really pretty. Using good ol’ cling wrap ( kitchen wrap, Saran Wrap, glad wrap, depending on where you’re from ), the hardest part is waiting for them to dry.

I did take a couple of sneak peeks , but decided to leave them overnight, and I’m glad I did.

They turned out great.

Dreamy Line and Wash BOKEH technique with a Magic Eraser!


 This dreamy effect can be achieved easily with non staining Watercolor. I used a circles template to lift out the shapes, being sure to wipe down the back of the template with a paper towel so as not to spread water where it wasn’t wanted. I also altered the stamp by extending the branch using an ultra fine tip sharpie. I used Canson XL paper and Daniel Smith Watercolor.

The stamp is “Free As A Bird” by Stampin Up.

Review and Swatches of my favourite Watercolor Palette. Winsor & Newton.


I love this field box for plein air sketching and taking on my hikes in the National Park. 
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors are my favourite paints, with Daniel Smith Watercolors coming in a close second.
I love the coordinating Promarker Watercolor markers that Winsor & Newton make, along with their brushes, sketchbooks and paper.
I have made a review of the Promarkers on my channel as well. 
Here is the matching video in case you missed it.
