Florals again on day 6 Watercolor class

Well folks its been fun, challenging, nailbiting, some frustration but all in all a wonderful class.

Welcome back..

Today I am posting the last bit of work I did from Day 6. Florals are not my strong suit but I did the best that I could and its not too bad. I learnt so much from Watercolor Intermediate class...I learnt things like negative painting, expressive florals, how to add things to a stamped scene. Also about glazing using the paint brush to make shapes...
The first one is a composition

Simple anniversary card

Hi there

I have been doing watercolor all week and let me tell you its been awesome and informative. I have seen such beautiful work from my classmates and teachers.

Today I did something different. This is a simple card I did for my niece (to give to a friend) just using printed cardstock, diecut shapes and embossing ink. Its an anniversary card and I was not told which anniversary it was but I decided to use lots of gold (you can't go wrong with gold and silver for wedding or anniversary) and seeing that the cardstock had flecks of gold in it , I decided that the sentiment would also be in gold...

Check out my simple card....Hope you like....

Expressive florals Day 5 Watercolour class

Hello there everyone. Thank you for continuing to stop by.

Today I have some collections from the expressive floral class. I am not very good with florals but I intend to keep practicing them until I feel more comfortable doing them.

Here are some of my pieces from class.

Bonus floral in watercolor class

Hello all,

Its been really exciting yet challenging at watercolor classes and at times I questioned whether I bit off more than I could chew but I have tried to do the best I can.

This is my sample bonus floral. Hope you like!

Another create a scene

This was very challenging! I did not have any stencils that were appropriate but I stamped the bird on piece of a branch and then I built the branch onto a tree and then added trees and the rest of the scenery, so I did not start off using a stenciled deer like the teacher did in this exercise.

I will admit I struggled abit to get my glazing in right and using a light colour for the undertones but this is what I got. The one the teacher did was really beautiful and creative. Maybe one day with continued practice I will be able to do great scenes like her...

Oh I used distress inks and a little bit of Koi black paint for the background and ranger 2, 4, 6 and 9 round brushes.

Watercolor class- Sketch a scene around a stamped image

Very interesting concept!

Hi folks thanks for stopping by...

I am enjoying classes more and more.....the practice of repetition really pays off and that's the case..The classes are helping me to expand my horizons in terms of ideas and techniques and the fact that the techniques are repeated and build on each lesson, makes things easier and more comprehensive.

Today I did the tehnique of 'sketching a scene around a stamped image'. For my card the stamped image was the table and chair set. I added the pavement, the cafe and the wall. It wasnt very difficult to do but it was still a challenge and actually I am not as afraid as I was to layer color upon color as I have been in the past thanks to the earlier exercises of glazing etc.

Here is the card! I hope you like it...

Stamped scenes Day 4 Watercolor Class

Hello! Welcome back to my adventure in watercolor intermediate techniques! I know I am a day behind as today is really day 5 of class however daily chores and errands are still a must in the household....

In day 4 we had several stamped scenes to do. The first one involved using a large outlined image and using all the techniques we have learnt thus far. Well needless to say I unfortunately did not have any large outlined images I could use so I used a stamp from my stash that I have used only once.

Here is a pic of the card I made using the techniques and my stamp! Hope I got it right...
