Brayered Stamped Watercolor on Mineral Paper

October 27, 2021 by Sandy Allnock 5 Comments Filed Under: Watercolor

Brayering watercolor? Seriously? Well I remember hearing about brayering it in some of my Yupo research ages ago. And as I was trying to use this Mineral Paper for a watercolor painting and had ruined it….why not try the brayer on this piece of paper before pitching it?

Video

Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YT.

I had picked up a cheapie brayer set and was delighted that it worked! Little moisture though – the instant water enters the picture, everything becomes a quick mess.

Stamping into the dry watercolor worked amazingly well too; I did have to fuss about how much water to use, and then ended up brayering lightly over it to make it all work together as a sublte background, then painted in extra berries and branches in between stamps.

I got 8 cards out of it – I divided my paper into 4 horizontally and 2 vertically, which you can do with any size paper to get multiples out of it. Punched out some snowmen and BOOM done!

    This gave me an idea – it looks like a lot of fun and so glad you shared with us. I love the texture as that is my jam. So, while watching you remove the paint with the wet stamps, I thought it looked so granular underneath and loved that. Then thought, why not add sticky ink with a sponge to paint removed areas? I bet that when embossed, it would provide a super cool texture, also. I can’t wait to try this but must finish the wedding decorations that I’m knee deep in. Had to take a break with coffee to enjoy your video. I always learn something!

    Interesting sort of paper… you always get something gorgeously useable, no matter what happened before. Love this Colorado Craft stamp – and I’m gonna have to get a brayer. Thanks!
