Water Color Class - Day 1 and 2

If you remember awhile back I took a stencil class and enjoyed it so much I decided to try a watercolor class. I have used watercolors in the past and I love the look so I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring those tools back out and use them plus perhaps learn new techniques which I did.

First up I have a card that you were to pool watercolors on watercolor paper and then press a stencil down to give it a bit of resist. Can I just say I failed horribly with this technique. It took three attempts and me just finally putting the stencil down and painting over it and building up excess paint which I allowed to sort of pool that finally worked for me.


 
This next card was to use a background stamp, ink and mist with water. I choose a math stamp that I bought in honor of my son who is kind of a math geek or rather physicist geek and figure it deserved some kind of math tie in for the sentiment.
 


This next card was interesting. You take a distress ink color then ink an acrylic block and mist with water before you press it down on watercolor paper. Layer other ink colors and finally splat with some water droplets. I then used the silhouette for a cut file and added a few embellies.

 
Will be back on Wednesday with more cards and techniques.
