A friend gifted me with a set of 24 Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils that she never uses. Yay! They are really nice! I wasn't even aware Prismacolor makes watercolor pencils. I really enjoy playing around with watercolors.
Here's the first thing I drew with them - A Whimsical Little Bird:
First I drew the little bird with a pencil. Then filled in the color with the pencils. After I took water and brush to it the first time, I went back over it with a white pencil to add some shading/highlighting. I was drawing on a piece of cream colored card stock. I tore the edges with a ruler for a sort of deckled look. Next I put some of the blue pencil on a page in my bird altered book. After smoothing the the pencil marks out with water and brush I sprayed the page with a mixture I made of Glacier Glimmer Mist and blue Memories Reinker ink (careful if you try this - if you get any on your hands it doesn't easily wash off-takes days to wear off-is it a bad thing to have blue hands???).
Next I found a piece of decorative paper to layer with the bird. I fussy cut some of the flowers to put along the bottom side of the bird picture, as well as a couple more here and there. And called it done!
Thanks for taking a look!
Hope you have a creative weekend!
