Simply Watercolor Day 2

Howdy, hello, good evening!  I have been working on the lessons for day 2 of the Simply Watercolor class over at online card classes.  You can find it HERE.  I'm having a great time with this class.  I just wish I had more chunks of time to work on it!  That whole work thing gets in my way! 

I waited until I had the three lessons done so I could post all of the pictures in one blog post.  I find this class challenging for many reasons but the top one is that there are no stamps being used!  I'm thankful Kristina Werner provides very detailed instructions and templates.  Bless you!

Here they all are!

For this one, I just freehanded it all per her instructions.  Not too bad other than my wonky balloons.

I had a lot of trouble with the animals.  I just couldn't get the shading quite right.  They are still super cute.  Thank you templates!

And now for the final card for this lesson.

My bear and background turned out darker than intended but look at that cute bow tie!  As with the previous cards, I used Misson Gold watercolors.

Overall I am pleased with my results.  I'm sure things will improve with more practice.  On to day three!

See you soon!

Simply Watercolor day 1 - part 3

Hope you aren't sick of seeing new posts from me!  Second one in the same day is almost like a record for me!  I think this one is my favorite out of the three I have made.   

I used Misson Gold watercolors for this project as well.  I think I'm going to try and use them all the way through this particular class.  I added Nuvo drops in matching colors just for fun!

I think I'm going to save the bonus lessons until I make it all the way through the class since it's going to take me a while.  In fact, I was supposed to be working on some quilt strips today.  Guess That's what I'll be doing tomorrow.

Toodles!

Simply Watercolor day 1 part 2

Woohoo!  I managed to finish part two of day 1 late last night.  This one was definitely more time consuming but still a lot of fun.  I realized after I attached it to the card base that I had turned it upside down before writing the sentiment.  Oopsie!  I still like it...even if I don't like my handwriting so much.

Here it is!

I'm hopeful that I will finish up day 1 lessons this weekend and maybe get a start on lesson 2!

Simply Watercolor day 1 - Lesson 1

Super short post!  Here is my homework for day one, lesson one of the latest Online Card Class Simply Watercolor from Kristina Werner.  I had a little bit of trial and error but got it done.  I used Misson Gold watercolors for this project and a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles.  Oh, and a silver gel pen!

See you real soon!
