      I thought it felt so wintery, (Ive never lived in the snow ..) January is always a very wintery time here Southern California style, if we hade snowflakes I imagine they would be magical like these~ And lots of bling :-) Have fun with it!

    Love- happy to revisit WC and stencils, and try gouache, WC inks while I am at it. Silver mirror so under used- what great “ Fun this will be” oh and to mist.. I need a posted note lol 🥰🎨

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  2 дні тому +1

      You too, and lots of fun with the misting technique! gouache is a fun medium, like a thicker more opaque watercolor yet can be diluted to behave similar to watercolors. Im always f dning fun th ings that have been in my art cabinet for years and bringing them back out again! Happy painting friend 😊. (what did we do before post it notes?) genius

    I love this technique. Thank you for sharing. When I use stencils with ink stamping I spray the back of the stencil with pixie spray. It adheres the stencil without damaging the paper and also helps stop the ink from bleeding under the stencil.

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  2 дні тому +1

      I've heard of that, and had wondered how it works., I have a heck of a time getting the correct paint consistency so it doesn't seep under the stencil. Good to know!

  • @melaniecostello4738
    @melaniecostello4738 2 дні тому +2

    What about using a sponge for stencils?

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  2 дні тому +1

      Yes, that can work, although a sea sponge seems to put too much water for me, and seeps under the stencil. If you use a thicker consistency, or even acrylic or gouache. I was playing with a makeup sponge to apply the paint and that seemed to work, but wasted a lot of paint, (which I hate... lol) Great idea play with it and see if it works for you~ Have fun Melanie :-)

      @@mariacohen5179 I can’t say enough about the MAB ‘s. All of their sets are wonderful She will send you test dots first if you want to try them. Tell her what you are looki bff for . I also like (secondly) the Paul Ruben’s set which is quite nice. amzn.to/4iLPYPJ I ebused Paul Ruben’s for years. I hope that helps There are other sets but to be honest very expensive and I don’t think (for me) worth the expense. Lisilinka which I recieved as a gift I hope that helps :) have fun! I love them!

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  День тому

      Hi letitia, yes, it is a lot like watercolors, and you are right it would do well as its thicker for stencils. If I water them down enough they behave a lot like watercolors. Cant wait to try the new ones I just got from Meeden~ Lets play friend. :-)

    Bocca effect? Was is that?

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  2 дні тому

      Hi Kim, No Bokeh here but that would be a perfect addition!

    • @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
      @DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy  2 дні тому

      @@kimlong692 here’s a good explanation of it (it’s really fun too)
      The bokeh effect in watercolor (also a technique in photography) is creating soft, out-of-focus circles or light spots in your painting, usually in the background. It is similar to the look of a blurry photograph where light creates gentle, glowing shapes.
      In watercolor, you can create this by blending soft washes of color and lifting lighter, circular shapes to represent the bokeh. I’ve used in dreamy soft backgrounds, like twinkling fairy lights, sunlight filtering through trees, or a soft-focus floral scene.
      The trick
      to a beautiful bokeh effect is keeping it soft, loose, and layered-letting the watercolor flow and blend naturally to create that magical glow!
