Hi Everyone!
I have been absent for this month's tutorials, getting ready for Christmas, but I saw SO MANY WONDERFUL TUTORIALS! I will HAVE TO catch up!!! ;)
First of all, THANK YOU to Linda (Holstein) for asking me to "guest post" for this week! Such an HONOR!
For the WCW Challenge this week, I had my card already before Linda asked me to do this. It was our Anniversary card for back in October! I thought with all of the tutorials we've been doing, we could add some more techniques for doing landscape painting. So, I chose to focus on the rocks, doing them with the Mottling Technique. I found a Mottling Technique tutorial by Lydia here:
Instead of adding color to color, add water to the color you've laid down, to get the mottled look for your rocks! It gives such a NICE textured look!
For a BONUS: You can try the sponged trees. Use any sponge you can find, clean of course. LOL I used an O'Cello Sponge- Damped it, wrung it out, & ripped it with my fingers to get a triangled shaped & then, used them to paint with.
HOPE you enjoy & I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!
Additional Supplies used:
Brushes- Silver Blk. Velvet- #12, #2, 3/4" Flat, Daler & Rowney Liner-3/0, Art Color #8, Bore Bristle Flat, Delta #00, Dugat #3.
X-Acto Knife, Teflon Bone Folder, Scor-Buddy, Scotch ATG,
