Elegant Writer Watercolour Painting : just one pen, a stamp and water!

This pen is MAGIC! 

I created this portrait using a Prima stamp and the Elegant Writer calligraphy pen. 

The black ink breaks into mesmerising colours of cerise pink, turquoise, pale blue and black once you add water. 

 It’s fun and easy, and you can create a portrait using any stamp that has a face on it.

Use Watercolor paper for this technique. Splash water onto the background, let it sit for a few moments, then blot up with a paper towel. Once you have completed and dried your portrait, add splashes of wet ink around the outside for added texture.

 Have a marvellously creative day! Vicki 🙂🎨

2022 Christmas Baubles Watercolor Painting: Tips and Tricks.

 This watercolour painting was made using a small ceramic dish as a stamp to create the 3 circle shapes. 

I show you how to create easy dimension in each bauble by lifting out the colour using a simple tissue. Gently “kissing” each circle together creates beautiful bleeds. 

Artist Desk Tour EXTREME CLEAN behind the scenes!

 Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a great weekend. I was brave enough to let you peek behind the scenes at my very messy desk! It doesn’t usually get in such a state, but I have many projects and paintings on the go, and it was in a terrible state. 

See how I turned chaos into calm , and now I’m ready to get to work with a sense of achievement. 

I also go through my favourite Watercolor supplies. Enjoy! Vicki 🙂
