You will need the following items:
- watercolour paper
- a few watercolour pencils (whichever colour you want to use)
- a stamp image of any kind (best to keep it simple if this is your first time)
- StazOn's Jet Black ink pad or any permanent black ink pad
- Stampin' Up!'s Blender Pens, Item #102845 (you can also use a make-up or paint brush for this)
First, I stamped the image in black ink and stamped it on the watercolour paper. I stamped it three times, so I wouldn't have to waste the paper. And, be sure to give yourself enough space to cut around the image when it's done colouring.
Then, start with a small area with the watercolouring pencil and just outline the area that you are working on. Once you have the outline drawn, you can use the blender pen and just slowly dab some of the outlined colour and pull it down. Keep doing this until you got the area that you were working on all covered. You can apply more colour if you want or leave as is. Personally, I think it's sufficient.
Once you are done with the first side, you can now do the same for the other side with the same applied technique.
Now, you can colour the rest of the image with other colours. Remember to be creative!I wish I knew about watercolouring when I was in elementary school. It would have made colouring so effortlessly!
...And I was just comparing watercolour pencils and copic sketch markers. Again, my very first time using both mediums. There are elements from both mediums that I like and dislike. So, feel free to use whichever mediums that best suits your project and personal taste!I had so much fun with this colouring experience. And I hope you did too! =)
