Join me and paint some fun holiday cards in watercolor! You don't need any drawing skills for this one, just some paint and paper! We'll begin by painting our trees and spend some time embellishing them with whatever supplies you have on hand. Below are the supplies I used:
Strathmore 140lb. Watercolor Cards/Envelope Pack
Daniel Smith Watercolors
Silver Black Velvet Watercolor brushes size 4 & 6 round
Princeton Summit size 0 & 2
Eraser
White Gel Pens or Dr. PH Martin Bleed Proof White or White Gouache/acrylic will work
Metallic gel pens or gold metallic watercolor - you can also use metallic acrylics over watercolor if you have those
Chandler Heat Gun tinyurl.com/57r4tajr
Kremer Metallic Gold that I used tinyurl.com/mrme6vfa

Love this. I did collage similar to this a few years back. It had a patchwork background. I have since taken up watercolors. Thanks for sharing this, I may try in WC. Patchwork will be challanging

Thanks! It’s definitely a lot of fun and probably a little easier than the patchwork 😊

People that had the willingness to show what they do. I’ve always wished I could have taken art classes so now I am, sorta. LOL You have now become one of my teachers & I hope you will continue your wonderful channel for a long time. Have a blessed holiday season & now I will be binging stopping every now and then to practice what you do. Wish me luck?!

Another new viewer, subscriber and groupie here! I’m a quilter and have always enjoyed embellishing fabric. I could see translating this process into fabric but I’ve always been enchanted by watercolors and the various techniques so I’m going to be playing soon in this fascinating medium. Thank you for the explanations and demonstrations.

There are so many combinations of water to paper to paint…the unpredictability is what makes it fun! I usually write out notes next to my experiences with color…I don’t call them mistakes but experiments. Now that I’m getting a little better, I can turn around something I don’t like to something better. I love that you call your wash, a puddle! 😆 Your creations are beautiful…thank you for sharing❣️🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

@MonicaSArt
@MonicaSArt 7 ай бұрын
Thanks for the sub! Whenever you’re painting make sure you don’t have more water on your brush than what’s on the surface of the paper. The water from your brush is essentially pushing pigment away. You can lightly blot your brush before applying the paint, it helps get rid of excess water. I hope that helps!

Hi, welcome and thanks for subscribing. I'm glad you like the cards! She used scrubby yarn its pretty inexpensive and you can find it at most craft stores. 🙂

What kind of mat are you using to paint on? I need something that will protect my table or desk when painting.

So my husband had redone our flooring and we had some left over vinyl laminate planks so he made a little frame and snapped together some planks for me to use on top of my table. I like it because it looks better than my plastic table and it’s easy to clean 😊. Jerry’s Artarama also sells a watercolor mat that’s pretty cool too.

I so enjoy watching you paint and listening to your instruction. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Ellen Degeneres? 😀

I don’t have scrubby yarn. Don’t want to buy either. Do you think using cotton dish cloth yarn can work too. I’m going to try it. I have nothing else to do with it.

I would totally try that and cotton is absorbent so it should work 😊

What are your scrubby washcloths made from?

It’s actually called scrubby yarn and my mom crocheted them, she said the yarn was kind of hard to work with but if there’s a mistake you’ll never see it because of all the texture. You can find it at most craft stores 😊

How do you keep paper from warping?
@MonicaSArt
@MonicaSArt 7 ай бұрын
These cards don’t really warp because I’m using minimal water, but if you’re having issues tape all your sides down to a piece of cardboard and that should help. If you some buckling it should resolve itself once it’s dry. Hope that helps 😊

I use these same cards and if they do warp, I iron face down with a press cloth. Works beautifully
