Today's lesson; Joanne verses "the paper."
I wanted to give a blast of color with watercolors to emphasize the leaves' fall color. The paper got saturated and started to shred. Immediately I took out the hair dryer before disaster occurred and I would have to remove another page from the sketchbook.
I remembered that my ink pen leaked through this paper, therefore, I opted for colored pencil to bring out the leaves and trees.
Hey, it worked! Score one for Joanne!
I have to figure out what to do with the next page because it is now wavy from the use of water on this page.
Ah, the challenge continues........
GORGEOUS! Love the use of colored pencil with the watercolor! Pops for sure!
ReplyDeleteThis painting it's just GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteNot only did it work - it worked brilliantly! Magnifique!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out just beautiful in these glorious colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... and very resourceful with the hair dryer!!
ReplyDeleteI've got my little Sketchbook Project 2012 book sitting here on my desk, still completely empty. I have lots of ideas but have been worried about doing something that will ruin those pristine blank (very thin!) pages!
I did read where you can substitute your own paper and rebind the book and I am thinking I may do that with some sturdier watercolor paper. Or maybe I just need to keep my hair dryer at the ready! :-)
Joanne ~ Sketch is awesome ~ love it ! ~ Sketchbook suggestion ~ do your w/c work on watercolor paper (size of journal page) and then attach it ~ to the original page in the journal.The paper is dreadful~ so that is what I did ~ hope that helps ~thanks, namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy S S ^_^

Hi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season and you've really captured it well on this page. Quick thinking about the hair dryer.
This is awesome! The colors are so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, I love this painting. I am a lover of trees and this is amazing. Love the detail and the colours. Wow!
ReplyDeletewatercolors are so perfect for fall letting us really blend those shades together, just like they are in real life. This is so gorgeous! well done!
