Lately I’ve been creating watercolor flowers and playing with my watercolor pencils, crayons and paints. Here in Phoenix, Fall is like a second Spring for us. As temperatures drop and become mild again, it gives us an opportunity to plant some flowers.
I often will do sketches of girl’s faces and come back later to color them with watercolor or acrylic paint. This week I did just that with this Watercolor Girl sketch using watercolor crayons and my aqua-brushes.
Hi friends! I have a vibrant watercolor journal page to share with you today. This lovely girl started out with color pencils on a 140lb watercolor paper and then I added the watercolor crayons and paints.
I’m continuing on with the Summer of Color challenge and we’re already at week #3! This week we’re going with a royal, or perhaps Mardi Gras look, with…
Purple + Purple + Yellow
I used the purple watercolor pencil to draw the face and then activated the color with a water brush. The rest of the page (140 lb. watercolor paper) was created with a mix of watercolor mediums. I really love the drip effect, it seems like she is behind a veil of tears.
Hope you enjoyed the page and I’m linking this to the Summer of Color challenge, and the Art Journal Journey. So stop by those blogs to check out some incredible talent.
Blessings,
