🖌️ Let’s practice loose watercolor and ink techniques!
🌹 In this live session I’ll show you how to loosen up, start with simple watercolor blobs and refine the shapes with ink.
I'll use the following materials:
watercolor paper
watercolors in Opera pink,
Papaya (indian yellow),
Kupukupu (lime green),
Night dive (teal mixed with prussian blue)
Vanilla (buff titanium)
Monk seal (gray ocher)
🖋️ Pentel Pocket real brushpen in gray. Alternatively use a fineliner, brushpen or dip pen & calligraphy ink. Any dark colored ink will do.
a size 6 round brush for the watercolor part
Hair dryer to dry layers in between steps
🖊️ You can also try this technique with a dip pen or fineliner for different results. Test out different ink colors for different effects, black, gray or sepia will make your illustration look different!
