Many cardmakers have watercolours of some sort in the stash, but never quite get around to using them. There's so much to love about watercolour--the transparent look, artsy splash or vibrant hues. However...watercolour can be intimidating!
Many people first experience watercolours as children and remember soggy paper, colours that turned brown instead of beautiful and the sheer difficulty of getting the look right. Here's a simple truth--you don't have to be your childhood.
Watercolour pencils and aqua painters are a good first step in reclaiming your creativity or overcoming your fear. Recently I brainstormed three techniques for watercolour pencils. It's a lot of information, so I'll spread them out over a few posts and maybe some videos. For now, here are some supplies you may want to stock up on. Remember, Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st, so now's time to make a qualifying order and get a freebie or two!
