Art Impressions Watercolor Wednesday Tutorials
« on: November 12, 2015, 08:32:18 AM »
Art Impressions has a new series on their blog and Youtube called Watercolor Wednesday.  They are showcasing their stamps and I feel they are giving such great tips on the "Art Impressions watercoloring" technique where you use a marker to color the stamp, stamp and blend out with water, AND with coloring in an image with watercolors.

Here is week 1:

Here is week 2:
http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/2015/11/new-video-watercolor-wednesday-series_11.html

I just felt like I learned so many great tips about coloring and wanted to share.  I am sure that you can use these tips with other brand stamps too.


ETA: I think this link will take you to all the watercolor wednesday posts on their blog:

Thank you for posting this.  I went and watched the first video and it was quite enlightening.  A person could do that technique with any stamp.  I hadn't thought of using markers like that without huffing on the stamp before stamping.  Her markers must be really juicy or I live in a dry environment.  I am going to try this and see if I can get the 5 stampings per inking.  I don't think I can but I still want to try.
You know it's been a good day when I haven't released the flying monkeys.......

Sadie, I think the Marvy markers she uses are a little more juicy than others, but I have not had trouble with any of mine. I am pretty sure I could get 4 impressions from my Tombows, but maybe I should check before writing this out.  I need some time to practice!

Thanks! I saw her do this at the stamp show in TN in October. This was a good refresher.

I am glad you are finding the videos worthwhile.  Just a note that the second video is showing coloring in of a line image, so the watercolor techniques seem to be varying per week.

Today, one of the videos is on watercoloring a front door surrounded by a snowy scene....I learned several tips about coloring a snow scene!  There are also other videos about coloring people.  Thanks Heidi for sharing this thread!
