Water Color Class

I've re-discovered water color, and I'm lovin' it! Last week I held my first ever technique class, choosing watercolor for the projects. I decided to demo two different types. I found the class on our SU website, and the card layout on Sudsol. The first was basic water color using the crayons and pencils with the aqua painter which I dubbed "Color Book Technique". Wagon Full of Fun from the Occasions Mini is perfect for beginners. Their first project was a Pizza Box and four 3x3 cards. Each card involved using a different medium or combination of mediums, and light to dark or left to right shading.



The second project involved layering on color for shading and highlighting, using ink pads, markers and blender pen. I cased this card from Sandi McIver using Soft Summer from the occasions mini.

Recipes:


Pizza Box: Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Tempting Tourquoise Card Stock, Water Color Paper, Earth Elements and Soft Subtles Water Color Crayons, Water Color Pencils, Stampin' Write Markers, 5/8 inch So Saffron Grograin Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals, and Scor-Pal


Soft Summer Card: Confetti White, Regal Rose Card Stock, Water Color Paper, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette, Summer Sun, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke Classic Ink Pads and Stampin' Write Markers, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon (retired)

  2. I love watercolored cards, but mine just never seem to look that great. Maybe I should go to your classes! I am wanting to try to watercolor the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral.....TRY is the key word here. Thanks for sharing.
