Easy Watercolouring with pencils – Tips & Tricks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.
I have always loved to paint. The mixing and flowing of colours fascinate me. I dabbled in watercolour painting before I started papercraft and haven’t lost the love. If you are new to watercolouring then pencils make for such as easy entry to the medium. We all played with colouring pencils as kids. You are just colouring as you did as a child.
The video below goes through a few tips for easy water colouring including, what paper to use, how to lay down colour and how to blend it. The phrase is that practice makes perfect and that is certainly true here. The more you practise the less scary it becomes and the more you will enjoy it. Don’t be afraid to try, there is no one watching and you can as many mistakes as you like. We all make mistakes, that is how we learn.
