Watercolor Summit Course – I’m I Ready For This?

March 25, 2019

 


Hey peeps.  I bit the bullet and purchased the Watercolor Summit class.😍 I have mentioned before that I love watercoloring.  It’s one of those mediums that just flows in my soul.  I find myself so relaxed when I do it and I never feel rushed to complete anything I’m working on.  I started my first few courses this week and I have already learned so much.  This class is only available I think twice a year.

A dear friend of mine (Ruby Naz) had purchased the class last year.  I didn’t want to purchase it because I felt overwhelmed.  After speaking with her, she made me relax about how I approach this class and said it was a class well worth the money.  Now Ruby will be teaching her very first watercolor class. (Yup, that paid off didn’t it? 😉) I’m immersing myself in this class. I’m taking the fear out of getting out of my comfort zone away and embracing what will come.

I also feel when you want to better yourself, you need to understand that it’s an investment in yourself.  I have purchased other courses in my past (Copics for example) to get me to a point where I can say I’m more than a beginner and working to become a seasoned colorist. Putting learning at the top of my priority list is a must for me.  I never want to stop learning.

Yes, there are free courses you can take and Youtube videos you can watch for free. However in my experience I don’t get the detailed knowledge that I get from paying a professional artist to teach me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that free courses and Youtube tutorials aren’t done by professional people. Learning from these incredible teachers helped me tremendously.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please make sure to follow me as I go thorough this journey.  I’ll be sharing inspiration with you here on the blog and also on my Youtube channel.  Have a wonderful day everyone and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for the blog hop for TopFlight Stamps.

Concord & 9th October Release Songbird Stamp Set

October 12, 2018

Hey peeps.  I’m super excited to say I’m a guest designer for Concord & 9th this month.  The October release is one of my favorites and I’m loving working with all the new products. Today’s card I’m featuring the Songbird stamp set.  This set is one of my favorite to watercolor.  The larger image and beautiful design really makes it easy to color.  Copic markers, color pencils and even pastels would be gorgeous with this image.

 

 

For my card I pulled out my Daniel Smith watercolors to color this image.  Next I used my color pencils to add some details to the image.  I decided to add detail to my background with a pretty stencil.  I stamped one of the sentiments on this panel and added some sequins.  I fussy cut it out and popped it up on foam tape.  Lastly I adhered this to a white card base.

Head on over to the Concord & 9th blog for more inspiration from guest designers and design team members.  Have a great day!
