Jane Lee happens to be one of my favorite Stampin' Up artist in the world! We met years ago when we both were chosen for the Artisan Design team. She has always been a master watercolor card artist and I asked her to show us a project. I keep everything Jane makes for me and I think you will see why! Enjoy!
Janis happens to be my own mother! She is actually a professional watercolor artist! When I was growing up, she painted all day in her studio in our home. Now, she teaches high school AP art to girls who plan to major in art! She also spends her summers teaching my girls to paint! (The love it WAY more than I did at that age!)
So, who better to teach us a few tricks than her!? She has helped me along the way learn to shade and color (although not until I was an adult because I had NO interest as a child!) I hope you enjoy these bonus lesson as much as I have!
Lesson 10 will help you with all that left over watercolor paper! If you're like me, you have lots of weird leftover pieces. So, don't let them go to waste! Turn them into a beautiful collage of punched watercolor images!
Welcome to Lesson 9! Today's lesson is a simple one. Use that Aquapainter to add beautiful washed color to paper that has been embossed with an Embossing Folder! You will love how this makes those raised images POP!
Wink of Stella Brushes have take the world by storm! I have just tried them this winter since Stampin' Up started to carry them, and I love them!! They are a great addition to your watercoloring arsenal as well! Check out the lesson and then put your Wink of Stella brushes to work!
Today's lesson is an advanced technique! I am going to show you how to take a stamped image and make it look like it was hand painted with no stamp lines! It takes lots of practice and even with lots of practice, you will see how I still don't get it right every time! So, check out the video and then find a simple image of your own to play with. And, be patient with yourself! It WILL take practice!
Today's lesson is going to show you how to use your Aqua Painters along with your solid image stamps. Solid images don't need to be "colored in," but we can use our Aqua painters to soften them, fill them in when they don't stamp well and shade them! Check out the video and let's get to work!
I am very excited about Lesson 3! By using your Framelits as a stencil, you can create beautiful "hand painted" images! You won't believe how easy it is! Make sure to watch the video and then pull out your Framelits and give it a try!
Hello and welcome back! This lesson is all about using that Aquapainter to create flowers. No stamps involved!! Don't worry, you can do this! It's very simple! I can't wait to see the flowers you create!
**If you are looking for Lesson 2, it was posted this morning. Just keep scrolling and you will find it!
Hello and welcome to Lesson Two! This lesson will focus on using your Aquapainter with Heat Embossed images. So, you will definitly need a Heat Tool, Versa Mark and Embossing powder for all of these cards. This lesson is a very long one as well. I promise they won't all be this long!
After you watch the video, give it a try and hop over to Facebook and show us what you've made!
Lesson 1 is pretty long, so I will only post this one lesson today. You will have lot's to work on, trust me! You can find the photos and supply lists of all four cards below the video. Make sure to hop over to Facebook and share your fancy backgrounds too!
