Easy Accordion Swatch Book with Simple Bookbinding.

 This swatch book is a great way to get to know your paints. I have swatched all my paints, pencils, markers and art materials by setting aside time each time I make a new purchase to sit down and play. It’s a great discipline to help keep track of what you own! 

We can sometimes feel overwhelmed with the amount of stash we have tucked away in our craft rooms and art studios, and I love having an easy reference for my art materials and craft stash. This fun little book was a joy to make. 

I used my Inktense pencils to create designs on each pebble by drawing directly into the wet paint.

Negative Painting Hearts Watercolor Card! 2 Fun Techniques to try. 💙♥️💜

 

Have you ever tried negative painting? No, I don’t mean painting when you’re in a negative mood! LOL 

This technique is quite simple. You basically paint images BEHIND the first image. Paint as many layers as you like ( I went a bit OTT with mine ) , but three layers would still give you this cool effect. 

I also used a wax paper technique to add texture to my hearts.  This was super fun , and one I will use again.
