Watercolor "painting" . . .

And I'm using that term loosely.

I understand color, highlighting, shading, combining colors, color wheel

but

I can't draw worth a darn.

My perspective is all off - always.

That's why I stamp.

If you want your stamping to look like you drew them

stamp with a light colored ink

and watercolor on top of the ink

like I did here:

I used a flower stamp from

RubberNecker and stamped with Staz-On Ink.

Using Ken Oliver Crafts ColorBurst

and

Ranger's Watercolor Paper

I painted over the light colored ink.

So fun and quick!

I wanted to paint another one that was a bit more ethereal.

(1) Stamped another image with very light ink

(2) Watered down the Color Burst colors a bit more

and began blocking in colors.

(3) Finished in 10" and ready for a card front.

 

Back to the original for a minute.

I thought the coloring I did was a little too heavy

so I ran it under the water faucet (literally)

'til the Color Burst was a bit thinner:

I like it better. Do you?
