Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Day Two - Simple Round Brush Flowers

I have to say I love love love the simple round brush flowers as they are fairly easy. I had kids watching me do them and then copying :) I started with a full page Monte Marte 180gsm paper with My Cotmans... I learnt a valuable lesson. This paper was very thirsty and I ended up using quarter of a pan of paint :O

Then I used A small Prima Paper with a Semco number 3 brush... Not great for watercolour...

And another smaller go at Monte Marte with Royal Langnickel tubes paints before finally moving onto Arches Cold Pressed.

Three together,

Unfortunately my prima panel ended up with paint on a corner but I'm hoping I can still salvage it!

Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Day One - Wet On Wet

Hi, I struggled with not so good papers for this technique... I did make some butterflies but the papers I was testing on didn't work well for this technique so I redid when I managed to get my hands on some Arches Cold Pressed. As my arches is only a small pad and a precious commodity I did a half card front sized panel.

And some practice butterfly runs...

I actually salvaged some of the butterflies to make a card or two ;)

Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Glazing Chart

I used Windsor & Newton Cotman pan watercolours for this chart on Semco paper.

I think I should have tried this on a thicker paper. May try Ranger.

Watercolor For Cardmakers Intermediate Color Wheel

Hi again, for my colour wheel I cheated and painted my colours then cut them out with Lifestyle Crafts nesting circles. This was about my 4th attempt as I tried tracing objects and kept wrecking it lol.

I used Semco 230gsm paper and Windsor & Newton Cotman Watercolours with Plaid One Stroke brushes.
