Happy Saturday!,
I hope that your day is going fantastic and that you get to relax this weekend!. I'm back with this weeks prompt for the WNAC November 2015 is Watercolor. This is another one of those techniques that I've seen done a million times but have never actually attempted to try it myself. Well that changed today!
Okay so I don't think these came out how watercolor is supposed to look. But even though they didn't turn out exactly how I wanted them to I still really liked the final result. Maybe I shouldn't have used so many colors seeing as it was my first time attempting this technique lol.
I tried to use mainly fall colors to keep it within the season. Maybe it looks more like a brushstroke technique? I'm not even sure lol. I just really love how the colors ended up looking together! Maybe I'll attempt this technique again with sharpie markers and see if that makes a difference.

ReplyDeleteThank you Roselynn! Stamping would have looked amazing over it! Hopefully I can get around to trying this again but with stamping involved.
ReplyDeleteNot quite watercolor, maybe because the holo and the metallics, but still super pretty!
