Hello Art Impressions Watercolor fans and welcome to another Watercolor Weekend round-up with the Art Impressions watercolor team. I am so excited to share my fall watercolor project, Autumn Flowers, with you this weekend. I hope you find some inspiration to create your own fall projects.
The Painting
I started out my stamping my large cottage inked with blue and brown to the right side of my watercolor paper. I pulled the color out of the lines, keeping the shadowed areas really dark and blending out towards the center of the cottage. Next I added some brown from my palette to the roof, door and the chimney. I added some dark blue and light blue to the windows, keeping the top left really dark.
I used a mask to cover up the flower boxes to keep them protected while I added the flower bunches, inked with green and maroon. I removed the masks and pulled the color out of the lines. Next, I took one of the large branches inked with brown and stamped it to the left of the cottage. Using the daisy bunch I inked up orange, I stamped it around the tree top. I added water and softened the lines.
From the original foliage set, I added grasses to the left and right of the cottage and under the tree. I pulled the color up and out of the lines. Next, I masked the right side of the cottage and added some yellow to the daisy bunch and stamped it several times. I added water to soften the lines.
Using my positioner, I inked the stepping stones with brown and stamped it in front of the cottage, I pulled the color out of the lines and added some additional brown from my palette. I inked the wrought iron bench with brown and stamped it to the left using my positioner. I used my positioner to stamp the weather vane inked in brown to the top of the roof. Lastly, I added some blue to the sky. Don’t forget to sign and date your work.
The Card
I cut a mat from Gina K Designs Tangerine Twist card stock (4 x 5.25) and adhered it to a Neenah Solar white card base (5.5 x 8.5) with Gina K Designs connect glue. I cut my painting out using a rectangle stitched die and adhered it to the mat.
