watercolor and digital stamps

[Susan_T]

Please forgive me if this has already been addressed, but I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer. I know copics work with digital stamps but has anyone tried watercolors and watercolor paper? My printer is a Canon ip3500.

The water will most likely stain the black ink. If you spray it with a protector I wonder if you can still paint over it?

Maybe u should get an Epson printer. Their dura brite ultra ink are waterproof.

I've done this on watercolour paper using my Canon printer. The ink did run so you may want to test it first on a scrap or use a fixative. I'm not sure using a fixative will work since that will cause the paint to float on top of the paper - the purpose of watercolour is so the water soaks into the paper. Here's the sample I did using a free colouring book page I printed off the internet:

There is a workable fixative, which is designed specifically to allow you to continue to add color media after sealing the ink. I love the stuff, but I can't say I've ever tried it on watercolor paper.

latelly I've been using more watercolor pencils w/blender pen with my digis.
just so much faster to color them with ;)
I use GP white paper and haven't had any problem.
