Default watercoloring

I am really enjoying using my markers with a brush and water aka watercoloring ...what are some of your favorite sets that work well with this technique?

My favorite watercoloring sets are In Full Bloom, and Sun Ripened I & II. I was never any good at it until I started using the Aqua Painter.

Any flower sets look awesome watercolored, even the Summer by the Sea and Seaside Sketches would be awesome.

I love to watercolor and my favorite set to do so with in In Full Bloom. It's awesome! I personally don't like the aqua painters. I prefer the control I have with a regular paintbrush.

I love watercoloring and gravitate to those types of sets. My upline is just the opposite and looks for sets she doesn't have to color (she loves the 2-step stampin;)!

My faves to watercolor are: Ageless Adornment, Wonderful Wings, Summer by the Sea and Botanicals. I like to watercolor Classic Convertibles, but color it in more so it really doesn't look like watercoloring.

Oh...I love watercoloring Ageless Adornment, too Michelle! It's like that butterfly was created JUST for it!

Do you use the Aquapainter or a regular brush??

I don't have the SU Aquapainter...but I have one similar to it. I don't like it at all! I use a paintbrush (that way I feel like I'm a real artist too!! :lol: )
