Hi friends! I will be working my way through comments and emails as soon as I can but I just wanted to pop in and let you know what I am working on for projects this week and show you what I painted on vacation. Also if you are interested in tutorials for any of the paintings I showed you today just let me know in the comments. I can record watercolor fairly efficiently (hence all the watercolor tutorials during my busy summer LOL!) and I am happy to if you want to see them:)
Here is a casual, weekly wrap up and preview of what’s to come vlog:)
Video!
Stuff I mentioned in the video:
Cotman watercolors
Zen 1/2″ (13mm) filbert watercolor brush with scraper handle
DIY watercolor blocks (tutorial here)
For those of you sick of watercolor tutorials I have some fun projects coming up this week:
- Fashion: Hand-dyed/stamped/painted scarf
- DIY scratch board (good one for the kids!)
- Back to School Apple for Teacher papercraft
- Under the Sea Party Invitations
- Friday we will have the 12:30pm ET live stream and it will be a watercolor:)
Here are still shots of the painting I shared in the video:)
During the video I mentioned a couple craftsy classes that you might like both by Anna Mason. I enrolled in her fruit class thinking it might help me with my strawberries:)
Fantastic Fruit-Texture & Form
Another nice one from Anna Mason is Realistic Watercolors Step by Step (it is mainly botanical flowers and a good place to start:)
Thanks for being awesome and til next time happy crafting!
