Technique Slow Scrap | April 17

Now looking back at yours, mine doesn't look as "watery" as I would like...I think I will try again!

 

WATERCOLOR STYLE ON SOSN sale!!!!

 

Thank you!

 

Oops posted in the wrong place so now I'm posting here. I used brushes and 50% opaqueness (is that a word?) to get these yummy pastels.

 

Love the technique and the fact that you did it on SOSN so I could buy Mommyish's styles which are amazing. They made my blobs of color gorgeous. Here's mine:

Rich’s family heritage is Polish Ukrainian on his mother's side. Our Piggly Wiggly grocery has a Polish section in their ethnic food aisle. I thought it would be fun to make up Easter baskets with Polish foods. I bought Pea, Mushroom, and Vegetable Soups to put in the baskets. And, I bought what I think is a sweet treat the Chalwa. I thought we could all take a slice of it at Easter to see if we like it. Rich saw the soups when I took this picture so he wanted some tonight. He loves the mushroom. Now his basket will be one soup short. I may go back and get the Buckwheat Soup. I didn’t buy that flavor because I wasn’t sure we would like it. Rich looked up how it is made and he is intrigued. 4-17-19

 

This was definitely an interesting challenge.
I used watercolor brushes and then applied a watercolor texture to improve the watercolor effect.

Here's my take.


Thanks so much for the challenge and new technique to play around with!

 

Hope you can see enough of the background. I used the brush method and put my flowers under the light opacity layer - okay they went there by accident but I loved it so much I left them there.

 

Went a bit wild with my brushes and NBK Watercolor Styles - not exactly cohesive but anyway... lots of fun though - thanks Jess!

 

Thanks for the tutorial and the fun challenge.
I used watercolor brushes and styles from the Intuitive collection by NBK-Design.

 

Was this ever fun!! I used a watercolor picture of my grandson, too. Thanks for hosting Jess and your instructions were perfect!!

 

Thanks for the challenge. I used water colour brushes and could not resist adding water wolour elements

And this one using Kate Hadfields ; Weekend at home

 

thank you for the really wonderful challenge, i love Watercolor and I love ideas and input!
I have used watercolor brushes and the twirl effect

 

Not exactly "springy with bunnies and flowers" but May 2012 Spring Showering

 

So sorry I missed the chat. DH and I were working outdoors and running some errands.

I tend to not use brushes (abr files), but I forced myself to try. I definitely need to try them more often.

 

I love playing with watercolours for real. I've got watercolour pencils, markers, inks, tube paints and pallet paint.s

When I p[lay with my watercolours at the moment I like adding texture stamps, and after the paint is dry, I spray water droplets ontop, and dab them with tissue - this lifts the colour where the water is. So I've had a go at replicating those digitally in layout background.



Thank you for the fun challenge, and inspiration.

 

I am so glad I've done this technique before, because I remembered about this at 2AM, as I was going to bed. So what I have put together may be a bit silly. I see Paula's little card scenes as so precious, bunnies saving the day! Thanks for the great instructions, I will use them in future! I used NBK's Watercolour brushes for the background.
