Hi Art Impressions Fans and welcome to Watercolor Weekend. Since Fall has just begun I thought I would use a few of the new stamps to create this Fall Scene. We hope you will join us on the blog and tag us on Instagram (#watercolorweekend). Check out the video.
Card Details
Before I start, I must preface this by saying I made 2 cards. I wasn’t sure how I wanted everything placed, so I made the first card. Once I was happy with the design, I decided to go ahead and film it. Of course, no card ever comes out the same so the details below are for the second card I made (I will also give you some details for the first card).
Card No 2
As you can see, the left pot is missing and the mums on the left are also excluded. The bucket is not slanted. Other than that, it’s pretty similar.
To start, I inked the small grass from the Foliage Set 1 with Olive Green. I added it to the bottom left of my watercolor paper. The small grass needs to be walked from side to side or up and down, or both! I pulled the color up and out of the lines using a brush stroke.
Next, I created a mask to protect it when I stamp the bucket from the Living Water set. The bucket is inked up with African Violet and Sepia. I masked off the bucket and stamped the mums into the bucket. I used the flower bunch from the Flower Set 2 using Olive Green and English Red.
Side Note: For card 1, I masked the entire bucket and stamped the pot from the Small Containers set in Sepia. I used the stamp positioner to make sure I stamped the pot perfectly where I wanted it. I masked the pot using some post it tape. I stamped the mums inked in Olive Green and Orange. I pulled the color out of the lines and softened the mums and added some Brown to the pot using my palette.
I inked up the pumpkin from the Harvest Set in Sepia and stamped in on the right side of the paper. I masked it and using my positioner stamped another pumpkin to its left. I used the other pumpkin in the set and stamped it to the right. I pulled the color out of the lines and added Brilliant Yellow and Orange to all the pumpkins. It is best to slowly build up the color. I added some additional grass in Olive Green below the pumpkins.
I masked the bucket and the pumpkins and stamped the wishing well from the Living Water set inked in Sepia and African Violet. I excluded the back of the well to make room for the flowers. I pulled the color from the lines, being sure to stay within each section.
I added an additional mask to the middle of the well and stamped mums to the right of the well. I inked it up with Olive Green and Brilliant Yellow – card number 2 I used English Red. I used the same flower stamp from the mini flowers set inked in Olive Green, English Red, Orange and Brilliant Yellow and stamped them in the middle of the well. I added water to the blooms.
For card 1 – I added the flowers to the left side of the well inked in English Red.
I added some additional grasses to the bottom of the stones in front of the well. Then I added some Manganese Blue to the background for the sky. As always, I signed and dated the painting.
Finishing Touches
I cut a border using the Square Double Stitched dies using Gina K Designs Asparagus card stock. I added it to a square card base of 4.25 x 4.25.
