LOL, here is the barn...........this is the reason why I am interested in this particular paint along, I can do flowy backgrounds but a watercolor painting is against my inner voice. I like more order in my art, and the fact that I have painted with acrylics for many years makes the watercolor method hard for me. I can get blooms galore, and I can even get a painting that looks like acrylic from watercolors complete with a "glaze" on the top but that wonderful loose watercolor alludes me completely. I have been practicing and trying different brushes and looks with the watercolor but I think this might actually be a long journey. The acrylics are intuitive for me, I can blend and add and play with them to get the effect I want pretty easily.
I have done both days so far and mine of course look much different then Ms. Allnock's look. Actually mine are much brighter in color and the watercolor is thicker in texture, a carry over from using acrylics. Hubby looked over my shoulder and thought mine were prettier.......LOL an art critic he is not. I have also watched the frugal crafter in some of her watercolor videos and her technique is easier for me to understand, of course she explains things down to the very last detail too which helps a lot. I have picked up some color theory from watching these two and other youtubers.
Have you followed along with Ms. Allnock, Far North?
For me it doesn't matter whether it is a stamped image or a digital image (which is what it is when copied from a drawing). I can do some drawing but I am lazy and use "helpers". I did learn something which should have been obvious from Lindsey and that is to use a watercolor pencil when tracing something or drawing something to watercolor. The pencil lines were bothering me and once you have watercolor down you really can't erase them. Lindsey kind of matches the color of watercolor pencils to her project and then when it is done it looks like it's supposed to be there instead of a distraction. I have really never thought about that part before since acrylic paint can be used to cover those lines up if it is so desired.
