This double card view is for you, Angie :0)
I enjoyed watching today's watercolor tutorial that showed two different types of paper. I used the same paper that I always use--Fabriano Hot Press. It's the best one with my Spectrum Aqua markers. But I made my two cards with two slightly different methods with my markers. The top one is marker directly to paper for the yellow sky and the mountains at the very bottom. And for the bottom one I scribbled the markers on my craft mat to make my watercolor palette. I did the purple mountains the same way in both, because I wasn't sure how my direct to paper method would work for it. I like the top one better. What do you think?
My color choices are inspired by the MFT Color Challenge 159 because I thought this cute penguin in his hot air balloon would look good flying over.
I wish I had paid more attention to the shape of the mountains in the video. I didn't quite get that bowl shape to the front mountains, but maybe because my perspective is high up with the hot air balloon, I'm better off with the shape that I have.
Anyway, thanks for the fun challenge, Ang!

I think I like the first one better as well. Your little penguin is adorable flying over the mountains and I didn't really like the bowl shape of the mountains in the video. Your purple mountains are the perfect shape.

Very cool, Jen. Perfect backgrounds for your images and really cool experiment with the different methods. Fun stuff and very pretty. Hugz
