Framed No line Lovely Blooms Watercoloring with Ilda

June 21, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Other

Hello Everyone!

Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty and I’m back today with a no line watercoloring project featuring the Lovely Blooms  from the latest Release.

I loved how the coloring of these flowers turned out so I just had to frame it! Difficult to see from these photos, but the gentle shimmer is so pretty in real life.

I began by stamping the Lovely Blooms onto watercolor paper using fadeout ink. I then took the time to watercolor these blooms using some Shimmery Watercolor crayons that I had picked up from Michael’s so long ago and hadn’t used them, so it was about time. To turn the crayons into watercolors, I rubbed the crayon onto a watercolor dish, added a drop of water and mixed the pigment with the brush until I was happy with color and consistency of the watercolor.

I’m not going to lie, this watercoloring was a bit time consuming but I really did enjoy the process as I learn a little more each time and I find it very relaxing. Plus, I have been participating in Kathy Racoosins #thedailymarker challenge and this piece, of course, is one of my challenge pieces. I guess you only get better if you keep practicing and for me, I still trying to learn how to use all the different media I have 😉

Other than adding highlights with a white gelly roller pen and some glossy accents to a few of the flowers, that was it for this project. Sometimes less is more. Of course, this could easily still be turned into a card in the future.

Thank you all for joining me today, I hope this Framed No line Watercoloring of the Lovely Blooms with Watercolor Crayons was inspiring for you.

Have a lovely day!

Ilda

    This is so pretty! I’m becoming a fan of Studio Katia florals because of artists like you. I’m curious how you achieved the thin line that defines the edges of the petals. Did you just use more paint?

    Your coloring is so pretty. I love the brightness. I would frame it to as it’s just too beautiful to make into a card.. I has water color crayons and I need to try this idea of what you did for the shimmery crayons.

    An absolutely stunning water colour painting Ilda. I am trying my hand at no line water colouring but I am a long way from this. I love this image though. I only have small images and I find them hard to practice on.
    This is truly a stunner.
