Hello and happy Thursday everyone!!
I am stopping by to share a couple of
watercolored cards I created. In between my Copic
coloring, I have been practicing and trying out new
watercolors.
Do you have a favorite brand of watercolors?
I am going deeper into the wonderful world of watercolor, the talent is AMAZING.
I have been curious to expand my collection.
I have been hearing wonderful things about Daniel Smith
and Prima watercolors. I usually use Winsor&Newton or Kuretake Real Brush Pens.
I do love those brand. I am just curious to try new brands and see how they work.
I am also catching up on creating birthday cards. The cake image from
the Concord & 9th Happy Day stamp set was perfect for the theme and to practice with
the new watercolors.
This is the card I colored using Daniel Smith colors.
I should have written down the colors I used as I was using them ( I apologize if I forget any, I will remember to write them as I go next time).
I tried to use the similar colors.
For the Daniel Smith colors I know I used Deep Scarlet, Permanent Brown
(these are now two of my FAVE colors) and Indigo along with Payne's Blue Gray
for the flowers.
This is the prima watercolored one. I used the Decadent Pies, Tropicals, and Classics sets.
For the flowers, I used from the Decadent Pies Guava Meringue, Apple, Pecan, and Blackberry.
I am very impressed with both brands.
I can't pick a favorite.
I love the colors, how they blend, the different look of each one.
I am hoping to color another of these images using Winsor&Newton colors, I need a couple more to match this color theme. Once I have those I will color the image and share all three cards side by side.
For the Daniel Smith colors, they are an investment. I asked the super talented Rubeena from a Rare Ruby's craft blog what watercolors she used and recommends. She suggested the dot chart, and it is absolutely worth it! I was happy to find these and the dot chart at a local art store( LOVE it). Now I have a wishlist.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!
Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!!
