Peaceful Gull | Watercolor Weekend | Art Impressions

Peaceful Gull

Hi watercolor fans! We have another great release for you.  I created this Peaceful Gull scene for you today!

Step 1 : The Posts

Ink the large post with 969, I added some 569 to the ropes.  I didn’t stamp it off because I wanted it to be really dark.  Next, stamp the smaller posts behind and to the right of the first.  Pull the color out of the lines and add a little more color to the darkest areas.

Step 2: The Seagull

I inked up the seagull with 569 and 969, and stamped it off.  Using my positioner, I placed him on top of the post.  I pulled the color out of the lines just where the shadows would be (he’s white 😊).

Step 3: The Water

Using a few different blues, I layered the water.  To create waves I left some areas white, darkening the blue under them. You can use squiggle lines to create ripples.  I added some brown to the right bottoms of the posts for a reflection.

Step 4: The Sky

Using a really light wash of blue, just push the color around to create clouds.  Continue to add darker colors in areas to create depth.

Lastly, sign and date.

I am so in love with this new release.  It’s going to be a stellar card making year!  Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a great weekend.  Remember to tag us on social media so we can see what you come up with!  Happy crafting!
