 Hello everyone, I have created a watercolor card for you today, and you can follow along with me! |
|
|
 Take a 4 inch x 8 inch sheet of watercolor paper or bristol paper and fold in half. Tape it to a surface if you would like to have a white border like I do. |
 Spray the entire surface to wet it. Using a brush drop or stroke a couple different shades of green paint across the horizon. |
 Use the bottom end of your brush to stroke through the paper in the paint areas to add darker strokes which will imply long grass and greenery. |
  While the paper is still wet, (if it is drying just respray it lightly) drop in your flower colors. |
 I am dropping in a second color which I know will mix with the red to make orange. I will end up with a pretty mix of colors by mixing these two colors. If the red mixes with the green it will become a bit muddy but dont worry, those are shadows! |
 Lightly drop some blue into the sky area. You can lift your paper to make it ooze down towards the flowers to get a pretty effect. |
 You can leave it at this stage or you can add some sketchy lines like I did with a fine point black marker or for a softer look you can use a pencil. |
Once the card has dried you can remove the tape. I added a cute little sentiment with
some bristol paper and a stamp. You could also print it onto card stock, cut it out and
add it. I taped mine so that it could be removed by the recipient and framed.
I mixed all of these colors from blue, yellow and red paint, the primaries. You would
be amazed what you can do with the right three tubes of paint!
I sure hope you enjoyed my little watercolor card tutorial as much as I enjoyed
creating it for you! Keep creating xo! ~ Roberta
