Hello friends! It's Sandy Allnock and I'm excited to share some fun watercolor with you today - I was asked to talk about the Watercolor Bundle since it's named after me (ha! my 15 minutes of fame?)....it was assembled specifically for the Exploring Watercolor Class but could be used for anything in the Watercolor Courses section. (FYI, classes are on sale now for the 12 Days of Christmas through Dec 12th!)
The bundle's a watercolor package worth $184 for only $120 - that means you pocket $64 that you can spend on other crafty items! It's a great item for your Santa wish list, just saying! It comes with:
- DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolors, Essentials 5ml Set of 6
- Canson Arches French Bound Cold Press Watercolor Paper Pad 9x12
- Black Velvet Watercolor Brushes, Short Round 8
- Black Velvet Watercolor Brushes, Short Round 12
- Black Velvet Watercolor Brushes, Short Wide Wash Blender 1 in
I decided to show you an exercise we did in a class with Jean Haines recently - it makes me feel like a little kid again! And I learned a lot as well as gained four card backgrounds all at the same time! Talk about multitasking. Watch the video to get some tips - and then give it a shot yourself!
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it over on YouTube.
These first two pictures are the "cool" colors from the DANIEL SMITH Essentials set:
They all have a smaller white card border to them.
The rest are the "warm" colors....
And these use a wider white border around them - which I think works just a wee bit better. Which do you prefer?
And the bonus that I snuck in for Ellen - Jasper, the office pup:
I hope you'll try painting some beautiful wash backgrounds when you get your Bundle - be sure to tag me with what you do with them over on Instagram or Facebook, I'd love to see!
Sandy
