Congratulations, Ishani. Kindly write a mail to deeptistephens@gmail.com. Thank you :)
If you are my regular blog reader you know that I love Water Colors and how much I am in love with it. I have a very few water color mediums like Distress Inks, Koi Water Colors, Student water Colors, Water color Markers and Faber Castell Water Color Pencils. Since I am a water color enthusiast I googled and searched best and inexpensive water color supplies for beginners. Yep! I am a beginner too so you'll certainly find a lot of mistakes in today's post. :p
Basic Water Color Supplies for Beginners
(Disclaimer : All opinions are my own. I found these supplies work best for me. If you want to purchase or if you feel other supplies work best for you then that's good! Once again all opinions are my own!!)
- Canson Montval Water Color Paper - 300gsm
- Koi Water Colors - 12 set
- Okayji Crafto Set - 6 set
- Tissue Paper and
- a Bowl of clean water
CARD MAKING PROCESS
I started by cutting down the water paper exactly to the size of the main card base then I started hand painting the flowers. To paint the solid images I used medium flat brush.
And for the brisk strokes on the inside of the flower I used a fine tip paint brush.
I then drew the stems and leaves. They are not at all perfect but I liked it :) Later I added a wash of green color at the bottom of the water color panel and muted down the color by adding some water.
I added splatters of black paint and stamped the sentiment from Mudra - Wild Rose in Archival Jet Black Ink. Finally I adhered the panel over the main card base with Red Sticky Tape!
VIDEO TUTORIAL
I have made a video for you showing you the entire process of making this card. I hope you like it :)
