Watercoloring Is Not Just For Kindergarten!

My technique class tomorrow night is focusing on watercoloring. I don't know how many of my customers tell me they love the "look" of watercoloring but can't seem to make this technique work. In class tomorrow night, I am going to make artists out of all the ladies. 🙂 If you aren't able to come to the class but are interested in learning the art of watercoloring, I'll be setting up another class so give me a shout!

Today's project uses our Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Blender Pens and the Paisley Petals Stamp Set. Using "line" image stamp sets work perfectly for watercoloring.
