I stumbled yesterday onto THIS site and found a link to a tutorial for Intuitive Watercolor Wash Faces. It seemed like a lot of fun, and I could hardly wait to try it.
The basic idea is to quickly add washes of color to watercolor paper, somewhat face shaped but very loose and free. You can see what my "faces" looked like after that first stage.
Then I spent some time playing with black and white inks and got this result.
This was really fun! More and more I love the feeling I get when creating without expectations.
I am going to sign up for the ATC swap at Art Colony, and three of my ATCs will go there.
Since I made more than three, I thought I might offer the forth one to one of you.
If you would like to win one of these four ATC cards, leave a comment with the card number you like the most and I will randomly pick a number on Monday morning.
oh, i must try this........ i do love playing with watercolour..... these are terrific... ;)

ReplyDeleteLove this idea and am keen to have a go, but have a 'to do' list today which I must deal with first. Would love the opportunity to enter your giveaway. All the faces look great, but No. 1 stands out for me....

I realy realy like no. 3, the blue one! I tried something like this once. I never went past the 1st stage, because the watercoloring part seemed so blah to me. I think that I should go finish my attempt :)
ReplyDeleteAunque lo he descubierto tarde no quiero dejar de felicitarte por estas magníficas ATC's. Voy a ver el vídeo. Muchísimas gracias por mostrar sus trabajos.
