I made this for the WCW010 Challenge- White Flower, hosted by Kia! Found here: WCW010 - White Flowers - August 5, 2020 by kiagc at Splitcoaststampers
Ok, I'm with some of the other women on this one! LOOOVED the video, but this was CHALLENGING! I am not a "daisy" kind of girl! LOL My petals kept coming out square! So, I ended up looking at the artist's flower on the video & sketching it out & took her video step by step. As I've NEVER seen anyone paint like this before! LOOOVED doing the washes! Anyway, THANK YOU KIA, for this CHALLENGE!!! ;) Yes, I also used the X-Acto Knife for highlights too!
THIS WAS A BLAST, even if I had to do it several times before I got what I liked! (I'll eventually use the others I did & call them "modern art!" LOL) THANK YOU TO ALL the ladies for the Water Color Challenges!!! ;)<3

First, I want to thank-you for how you photographed this amazing card. The props shows all the items you used. We all are learning from these challenges, and many are asking questions about brushes, paints, and paper. This should help answer some questions. Now to the painting....love it. Your deets explains what you took away from the video. I forgot about the xacto knife tip she did. Glad you did it. The brushes you use are my favorite ones. Great job with the washes and mixing of the colors. Looks like you are a natural. Sure glad you joined the challenge this week. Again thanks for explaining everything so well. Hugs
