This is my first Tea Potters challange, hope I got it right. I used ivory watercolor paper. First , I spritzed the paper lightly with water. Now I sprinkled on the shades of Brushos, and spritzed it with water again and used my drying tool , and patted it dry. I've only used Brushos one other time, so I didn't really know what I was doing. Any way, the colors fell just right for a water scene. After my paper got dry, I stamped the etched lighthouse in. I shaded the clouds with white, and gray watercolor pencils. Now I used a black gel pen, to define the lighthouse, then I colored it in with watercolor pencils. I used a white gel pen, and a black gel pen along with a turquoise pencil , to define the waves, and the black gel pen, to define the bird in flight. Once the coloring was done, I added white lace stickles in the clouds, and water, and in the lighthouse top. I just thought the scene needed a little shine. Thanks for the fun challenge, and thanks for looking.

Welcome to the teapotters!!! You did great with the brushos, have never used them. Created a great background for your lighthouse and agree looks like a painting.
