New AI Watercolor Sets Part 2 | Winter Hobbit House

It’s such an exciting time at Art Impressions Rubber Stamps.  We are back again this week with the release of 6 more brand new watercolor sets.  I can’t tell you how much I LOVE all these new sets.  It’s also week 2 of the Watercolor Wonders challenge over on the blog.  There is still time to enter!  I decided to create a Winter Hobbit House.

Join us for Watercolor Wonders Challenge – Week 2 and the roll out of 6 new watercolor sets.

Winter Hobbit House card details:

Step 1 – The House

I inked up the Hobbit Door with Sepia and then added African Violet over the Sepia on the cobblestones and to the top of the ledge above the door.  I created a mask and covered the door to the Hobbit House.

Step 2 – Scene Elements

Using my positioner, I placed the small light to the right of the door.  I didn’t ink the entire stamp, just the light itself.

Step 3 -Adding The Water

Using my brush and water, I then pulled the color out of the lines.  I added additional color beneath the cobblestones.  I added some African Violet to my palette and used my brush and water to create the snow around the house.  I wanted it to feel like it was almost completely in a snow bank.

Step 4 – The Door

I added some more Sepia to my palette and added some lines to the door to make it look like wood.  I also used the fine point of my marker, I added some shadows to the side of the door and under some of the cobblestones to deepen the shadows.

Step 5 – The Light

In order to create a look of darkness, I used the Brilliant Yellow to add color to the light, around the light, the door and the cobblestones.

Step 6 – The Tree

Next, I inked the top of one of the new Trees with Sepia.  Using my positioner, I added the tree on the side to look like a branch.  I used some African Violet on my palette to create some snow on top of the branches (negative space painting).

Finishing Touches:

I added a little Wink of Stella around the light.  Finally, I cut the piece down to 3.75 x 5 and added it to a piece of Black Onyx  and Moonlit Fog card stock.  Then I added the entire piece to a top folding base.
