I Love Watercolor Pencils!
I absolutely love our new watercolor pencils. I so very much enjoy feeling like an artist when I use them! Unfortunately I seem to have "misplaced" my watercolor pencils. How, oh how, could I lose a box of pencils?
Before I lost them I made a couple of cards that I love and then today I made a card using only the four pencils that came in the April Paper Pumpkin kit! The set has pink, purple, yellow, and blue; with those colors you can also make orange and green. That's a pretty good array of colors to make a quick card with.
My preferred method to blend the watercolors is to use blender pens. I like the control they offer; I sometimes get a little out of control when I use water and a brush! But if I'm doing a large area, I seem to get the best results with a brush...it's just too hard to get good coverage and not end up with pencil marks in large areas with the blender pens.
Here are a few of my favorite watercolor creations.
What is your favorite way to watercolor? And what is your favorite stamp set to watercolor with?
Joyful Stamping,
Elizabeth
