The challenge is a sketch challenge using this sketch:
I couldn't resist playing with this new image. I paper pieced it and wasn't happy with my paper piecing (I am just learning) so I decided to try and color it using watercolor pencils and an aqua brush.
The image is called Home..sweet home and is just being released today. I had tried several times to watercolor digis with no success. Tried embossing off the printer and heat setting but the ink still wanted to bleed. I am an instant gratification kinda girl and didn't have any fixative so started experimenting with things I had on hand. I have a Prismacolor colorless blender pencil which I have not had luck with when coloring with my pencils but I thought I would try it on the image to prevent the ink from bleeding...and it worked.
I traced over the lines with the pencil and when I watercolored with my aqua brush it didn't bleed. I am just learning to watercolor so forgive my coloring. But this is a fun image to play with. And you can win it at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges Blog. You have until Saturday at 7 pm EST to enter.
