    Wow, I had no idea you could brush thinned PVA glue over watercolor without re-activating the watercolor and making a mess. I don't have any sort of chunky glitter like you've got here...but I do have some automotive metalflakes in several colors, some being holographic--also tons of dry pearl powders. I could also try using gold or silver leaf--I have some unusual variegated colors. I can use my airbrushes to add a subtle smoke/cloud background. This is a great basic card design to work with--I have 10 Christmas cards w/ envelopes to paint and can make them all basically the same but different. Thanks for posting this!

    I am mesmerized watching you watercolor your bauble painting. I haven’t tried water coloring at all but bought a few sets to use on other card making projects.
    But laughing all the way to my artroom with this fabulous goal I’m going to give the bauble painting a good old fashioned (college) try! I laugh because trying different things makes me so full of joy inside. Oh I have to add the glitter mix was a brilliant idea! So Thankful I found your channel!

  • @RATTE1606
    @RATTE1606 2 місяці тому

    I don´t use a fineliner any more for finest lines and details, because I use anstead a well working glass dip pen + brush if I need, with any watercolor, or ink, or watercolorfluid etc pp that I want ...
    this very useful tool is also very cool for sign and writing or drawing no matter what you want.
    or a simple ruler pen can also be helpful in a simular way incl. straight lines ...
    I´m shure these 3 tools can also uleashed your watercolor artwork ... 😃

    @nicolemarie6273 11 місяців тому +1

    I made this last night short of the glitter part and I almost ditched it but decided to leave it until this morning to see it completely dried. It doesn’t look half bad! I didn’t add the dark tones on the lower right edges because I was afraid I wouldn’t get the same effect as you did (I don’t have the same colors as you). I just added more pigment. My question is should I try to give those areas a dark swipe with a very thinned out dark (watered down lamp black perhaps) to darken it? Thanks for the tutorial! Also-I used my own trick of scoring the round shape on the paper in the hopes of containing the color better and keeping the paint from seeping out of shape. I think it helped.
