WooHoo it is tickle a TEApotter time and our brand new guest hostess Jeannie (Luv2grdn) has challenged us with a fun technique she affectionately calls Dipsy Doodle - combine watercolouring and doodling.
I love doodling, but watercolouring is so far out of my comfort zone that I don't even own any water colour paints! So, I gathered up all my liquid water-based inks and re-inkers, diluting some with water, a few eyedroppers, pipettes, spritzer, white pen and a micron pen and happily dipsy doodled for ages.
I did all this on polypropylene paper, which is handy because you can wipe anything off while it's still wet and start again (and again and again and again). I wiped a soft cloth over everything when it was completely dry, but who ever receives this in the TEApot tickle, I don't suggest you lick it LOL.
This background had "mermaid" written all over it, so I coloured this Sheery Baldy cutie with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and highlighted with Copics and liquid pearls.
I purposely coloured the mermaid in a way that she would blend into the background (as much as someone with such a big head can), as I wanted Jeannie's dipsy doodle technique to be the main feature.
Thanks so much for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in.
