Expressionistic Watercolor, help
 

Hi, can someone direct me to instructions on Expressionistic Watercolor. Thank You!!

I'd love to see instructions too! :D

The technique is from the Technique Junkies Newsletter (12/04 I think). I just got a subscrition for Christmas - it's awesome! Go to www.patstamps.com Also Pat has been posting here at SCS - her name is phuncropper - here's a link to her gallery
http://gallery.splitcoaststampers.co...at=500&ppuser=

so the technique is a secret unless you get this newsletter? Hmmmm.......

I wouldn't say it's a secret, but the newsletter is a wonderful publication that obviously takes a LOT of work by Pat Huntoon, who puts it out. Many of her subscribers - including me - prefer not to publish techniques from her newsletter, even though she has said that people can write them up themselves because she owns the copyright to her words, rather than the techniques themselves. They eventually make their way into the general body of stamping knowledge, but I don't feel right about posting instructions (even in my own words) so soon after the newsletter came out. Doesn't seem quite right somehow.

When you start seeing a cool new technique here on SCS, you can bet that people just got their Technique Junkie newsletters!! Check out her site! You'll love the beautiful card gallery & if you subscribe, you won't be disappointed!

I agree. Pat Huntoon does a wonderful job with her newsletter, has put together 2 CDs full of techniques and publishes a scrapbooking newsletter as well. I can't speak for other subscribers, but I feel honor bound not to photocopy or otherwise distribute her newsletter to non-subscribers.

THANK YOU to those who PM'd me on this subject, I am grateful for your direction.

I would not ask anyone to "copy" or violate anyones copyrights, I was just looking for some direction on this technique as I thought this was a forum for sharing.

I have done something similar to this technique with a water mister and some watercolor crayons applied directly to the rubber.

If it was me, I would not post my creation to this site if I did not want to be asked questions about the technique I used. I guess that would be the safest way. But that is just my opinion!

I agree with Northernstamper... I'm fairly sure that technique wasn't original to that newsletter. Maybe was given a different name, so I'm not sure why folks feel they can't share the instructions with new stampers.

I think it's great that everybody loves and has a loyalty to the newsletter, but this is a technique that has been in the gallery quite often, and you make it seem like those samples are a commercial for that newsletter.

I hope I didn't offend you by directing you to the newlsetter. I was directed to the newsletter in a similar way awhile back and was very happy to discover it. I kept seeing techniques in the gallery that I was not familiar with. Since so many here at SCS are subscribers, I think most people don't think of not posting samples. SCS is a very sharing community. Had you done a search in the forums you probably would have found the technique described in some thread already. The posters here did not in any way mean to be rude. I think it was very politley explained as to why we were uncomfortable posting the technique. Your tone is quite harsh. Again I apologize if I offended you.

I don't know if this is the same technique, but you can check this out:
