Psalm 119: 49-50
Remember Your word to your servant,
in which You have made me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction,
that Your promise gives me life.
The other night, I just needed some time to play with my watercolors. After making a few mistakes on my little hot air balloon and having green run into the background (see below), I decided to dabble on some "sunset" colors on the facing page.
It was fun and allowed time for the hot air balloon to dry enough for me to add another layer of blue to the sky. And it turned out good enough! Now the "sunset" page was drying and I had no idea what to do with it so I let it sit overnight.
Yesterday, I had more time to play and thought I'd try a floral piece inspired by the super-talented Megan Wells. Please check our her website HERE... full of inspiration, video tutorials, classes, and amazing books. And give her a follow on Instagram... so colorful and fun!!!
I went about things a little differently (because I have a hard time painting "loosely" and because of the supplies I typically use) so hopefully she won't mind if I share a brief tutorial on how I created this page! :) xoxo
Steps (with affiliate links to products I used below):
1. Paint the background with watercolor paint. Allow to dry.
2. Sketch flowers or whatever you want (maybe your word of the year!) in pencil.
3. Trace over sketch with waterproof pen. Gently erase pencil lines.
4. Paint entire background with white acrylic craft paint. Allow to dry.
5. If you're like me and got a lot of white on the black pen, then re-trace over pen lines. See below picture for the before and after of this step!!!
6. Add fine details/touch up with smaller black pen and white pen.
7. Done!
Possibly my favorite page so far!
