Online Card Classes Watercolor for Cardmakers.

If you are looking for my House of Cards DT post go HERE.

I signed up for the Online Card Classes "Watercolor for Cardmakers." They encouraged us to play with different types of watercolor media.  I had not done much with watercolor pencils before so I took the challenge to try them.  Here is a 5x7" card I created using Derwent watercolor pencils.

 I continue to strive to become a watercolor artist since studying for my Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts 40 years ago.  Since I retired I have been taking a Studio Painting Class where other students and a teacher have given welcome feedback and much needed practice.  Right at the time I signed up for the Online Card Class my instructor challenged me to create a card with watercolor.  Mission accomplished and I now have a better idea of how to use the watercolor pencils in a way that suits me!

Happy Crafting!
Donna

  2. Oh! My! Word! That is "awesome" I love it. Love, love, love everything about it.
    I got a gift of a very large box of Prisma Pencils, they sill have the cellophane on them. Someday I might have the courage to take the wrapping off!!
    Enjoy every moment of your colouring

  6. Hi Donna
    Wow and I say wow again. You have hidden this light under a bushel. Absolutely stunning! I have some watercolour pencils but could only dream of creating something like this.
    Have a great weekend.

  7. Wow, Donna, you are one heck of an artist. I won't be freehand drawing anything but doodles, but I can color in a stamped picture. :)

  8. Um, Donna, geez, I think you could be a teacher for the class!! The preclass video I saw suggested we make color charts (which I still haven't done), not create a breathtaking work of art!! You go, girl! I'll be learning from you!! Hugs, Darnell
