On Line Card Class Day 6- Expressive Florals and Leaves -2

 

 

This is my last card for the On Line Intermediate Water Color class.  This class was so great if you are an artist, which I am not.  I was able to do some of the techniques, but there were some, try as I might, could not even come close.

I am impressed that I was able to freehand this card. Yah, can you believe it?  This was a combination of Kristina's and Jennifer's techniques.  Kristina takes a picture like the one I have here to use it as an example of how to design her card, and then I used Jennifer's flowers, cause I wasn't able to re-create the ones in the photo.

Great, great class but I'm afraid a little (lot) above my skill level... 

On Line Card Class Day 4 Negative Painting on Image

 

A card I wasn't going to post, but as I kept looking at it decided it wasn't too bad.

This was Shari Carroll's take on negative painting on image.

After many tries I was able to come up with a card to post.  I really like how this turned out.  All freehand, amazing huh?  I have had such trouble with the stems usually they are too fat, but finally got it right.  This is Jennifer's technique who claims to be like us.

Another success that I can post. Still need lots and lots of practice.  I'm not sure that this is my kind of watercoloring, though.  I'm just a basic watercolorer, washes, embossed images etc.  Glad I was able to do a few of the techniques.

After several days of struggling, I feel like I have had some success in this freehand picture of leaves and flowers.  YEAH!!!! 

In fact I really like how this turned out.  Still struggling with the branches getting the lines too fat.

On Line Card Class Day 2 Brush Techniques & Washes -4

 

This is a card techniques by Laura Bassen,  I struggled on what to do with this background and decided to just add a large sentiment and a black strip along the side.

White  Embossed a leafy background and then added the circles on to the card with Koi watercolors.

No cards for today as today's lessons were well above my skills.  And it was not from lack of trying.  I must have tried one technique about 6-8 times or more.  Just could not get the loose watercolor look.

And the other technique I must have tried 4 or 5 times.  Yikes, over my head.
