DAY 5~EXPLORING WATERCOLOR MEDIUMS

Hi everyone! I created this card for day 5 of the Watercolor Medium class. This class was all about no line watercoloring. Something I have a very hard time doing.  

I think for a first time try it didn't turn out to bad. I will be practicing this more and share what I create as I go. 

Today's card is using a great flower set called Grateful Heart. This was a simple image and made the process a bit easier for me.


We started the lesson with some gradient work to help us color in our image. I've done this before but never in an image, only as a background.


It's a bit rough but overall I'm pretty happy with my flower. I can't wait to give it a try with a different color and see what comes of it.


I wanted a bit more color so I added a strip at the bottom blending shades of purple and lapis lazuli to create a gradient strip for my sentiment to sit on. 


I added some splatters to the background using puffy heart metallic shimmer spray.


I wanted some shadow behind the main image so I used a flower cluster image from the same stamp set and stamped it in limestone ink. 


THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!
