**VIDEO** Easy Detailed Watercoloring

June 28, 2015

Hello! Do you ever had an experienceΒ where you really wanted to play with a set but never, never got a chance for some reason? Well, theΒ stamp set from Altenew I am showing today was just that in my case. I’ve been eyeing this set for a long time and every time I wanted to get it, it was out of stock. However, I was able to get it last week and had to break it out the first change I got.

There have been so many, perhaps too many products on the market for watercoloring – I’ll be honest. It can be really overwhelming, especially you are a newbie just stepping into the crafting world! But rest assured, I am here today to share a quick and easy way to utilize those oh-so-famous Kuretake ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Markers and how you can use them to color detailed images like below.

STF - 20150628-1

I am not really worried about where the sun is shining, where I need to put darker colors, etc when I am coloring. I just stick to one side of an image or outer edges of an image. For today’s card, I usedΒ ZIG Clean Color brushes to lay down colors on the left side of each building in this image. Then, I blended it with clean water and watercolor brush. So it actually created somewhat shading layers on its own.

Don’t you just LOVE all those detailed lines of this stamp image? I wish Altenew will bring a set that featured sky lines in my home country. Maybe I will send an email and request one πŸ™‚

What is your favorite thing to color?

Great tips. My Zigs are on their way from Japan, but the extras colors may be here tomorrow. I plan to have some images ready to practice with. I’m sure to watching your video again! Thanks for sharing and I hope you do more videos with the Zig Clean Color brushes.

I recently got my Zig Clean brush markers and definitely a challenge to paint with them the first time. They are vibrant and certainly will last a long time. Worth the investment. Love the skyline you painted. They seem to be so popular these days. Thanks for sharing.

    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 πŸ’• 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 πŸ₯°πŸ₯° 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. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» 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 πŸ’•

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. πŸ˜… 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 πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» 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 πŸ₯°πŸ₯° 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 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• 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 πŸ˜‚) 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 πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    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
