Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: wavejumper wants to know: "What is your favorite base color for no line watercoloring?"
A: I usually use Memento Angel Pink, MFT Natural or Grout Gray, or a pale yellow like VersaMagic Thatched Straw... it depends on the subject I'm painting, and what color would blend in with the colors I'm likely to use. Grout Gray and Natural inks from MFT are great neutral color inks that will go with any color family. A pale pink ink would blend in well with cool colors and reds, and yellow would blend in well with any warm colors. As far as ink type, if you want the outline to truly disappear, a dye or water soluble chalk ink is best. If you want a faint outline, use a solvent or archival ink.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Rebecca has a tip for the Spotlight Stamping technique: "Instead of trimming the white panel and layering it on the black, if you cut both panels the same size, you could make two cards - one with the white in the middle and one with black in the middle. You could even die cut a shape in both panels and reassemble with the opposite color."
