Adding Colour

What a wonderful thing watercolour paints are. The way they blend and mix to create never even thought of combinations...they have always been a favourite.

Really when you're playing with watercolours, no matter how they come - pencils, crayons or pans, they make it very easy to create and oh so much fun.

Before I start with any watercolour I tape my watercolour paper onto my work surface which at the moment is a bamboo chopping board - easy to move around.

This image was created backwards to what I usually do. Normally I lay down an outline very lightly in pencil so I can see where it's going, but with this the colour came first and then I added definition with a fineliner. It was fun and scary all at once.

This watercolour will eventually find it's way into the store as a printable card, but for now it's time to create a little more.
