**VIDEO** Easy Watercoloring w/ Markers

July 16, 2014

Watercolor is really big in paper crafting right now and a lot of people told me that they are afraid of getting into watercoloring. One of the big reasons I hear is because it sounds and looks intimidating to try out. So, to give an easy way to create a watercolor look, I decided to share this project and do a video tutorial on it. You will get a full watercoloring look using a shadow stamp image and couple of markers. So go ahead and get a cup of coffee or a healthy smoothie, sit back, relax, and enjoy the video tutorial!

I fell it love right away with the Cherish Stamp Set – The shadow tree image with a girl can be used in so many ways. You can use it like I did over here to add colors on top of the shadow, or you can stamp it in a one solid color to pop out the shadow image. Black and white will create a nice, elegant look or you can heat emboss the image using different colors for lots of different look. Sky is the limit!

For today’s project, I used some of the Le Plume II markers. The ink of these markers tend to stay wet a bit more longer than other markers out there, allowing you to use water to blend the colors together. If you want a really washed out look, add lots of water, if you want more of a strong color with soft edges, simply tab the watercolor brush lightly onto the image.

Hope you felt encouraged to give this a try! There are lots of different ways to create watercolored look, so don’t be scared to deep your hands in it. Happy watercoloring!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
