Fixing my impatient mistakes in watercolor

January 26, 2017 by Sandy Allnock 12 Comments Filed Under: Watercolor

I wanted to stamp and color ALL the otters. So I did! I cut a long piece of watercolor paper – 12″ x 5.5″, then scored it at 4″ and 8″ to make three panels. Then I got busy stamping! Watercoloring the water was a blast – and I show you in the video a few ways to “recover” if your painting got funky along the way. (A few folks at CHA got to hear the backstory. Shhh! Pinkyswear! lol)

Video

Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.

I love that Daniel Smith watercolor is nicely transparent – so it’s easy to make the floating otters look like they’re “in” the water.

    Sandy, Gayle again here. I loved watching this water coloring blend into the paper. I have said before your talent goes beyond amazing. You have me interested in not only the Copic jump class but now watercoloring. I have some experience w/ watercoloring but none w/ Daniel Smith!!! Thanks for sharing your awesome videos. Wish I had half your talent- you make it look so easy

    Hi Sandy, great video! I am one of your fans who enjoys the “fix it” parts . I’m sure you’ve answered this a million times, but what ink do you like best when you’re stamping for watercoloring? Thanks!

      I use whatever’s been reinked freshest – versafine onyx black, Ranger jet black archival, and now Lawn Fawn’s new black ink.
