Thursday 3rd Sept: Behind the Scenes on IG stories and a brand new Youtube tutorial (Patreon)

Back to School Bookmark

Stationery Episode 2: Back to School Bookmark Whether you're sending your little ones back to school or need to get your own life in gear for heading back to work, college or a new job this September, there's nothing like a little bit of new stationery to make everything better. This bookmark project is a perfect way to spend a quiet hour. They make perfect little gifts if you can bear to give them away! This tutorial is all about layering and consistency of paint. Translucent washes and then a concentrated, opaque, silhouetted flower on top. I'm always amazed at all the different things watercolour can do and this is a lovely, easy example of that. If you've loved learning with me and want to enjoy a more interactive and tailored watercolour experience, join my Patreon (https://bit.ly/2EWJIGL) to become part of my watercolour community.
