Did you know Calla Lilies are one of my favorite flowers? Like top two competing with only yellow roses for top spot favorite flowers?
I typically opt for the white ones but since I haven't been able to make a ton of summer cards this year I wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to use some hot summer colors!
I used Altenew's watercolor Brush Markers for this card because the colors are so vivd and rich. I adore them. While there is a couple of different ways to use the watercolor brush markers I like taking them direct to paper. I just lay down my color where I want my shadows to be and then go back in with a damp paintbrush and blend the colors out.
These blend out just gorgeous. You can mix colors like I did here creating multi-color Calla Lilies by going direct to paper or you can scribble the color out on a craft mat or acrylic block. Then just pick it up with your paint brush and add it in where you want it.
Once everything was dry I went back in with about four colored pencils to deepen up the shadows and give the entire card a more precise look. This technique is works great for people who love the look of no line coloring but don't enjoy the loose painting style. There is a ton of control this way!
Thank you so much for joining me today!
I hope you're inspired to give this technique a try. The next stop of the hop is the wonderfully talented Norine Borys. Enjoy!
