<br />
No matter your crafting style, a great watercolor background is often the best foundation for cardmaking, art journals, bible journals, or scrapbook layouts. Watercolor can be brilliant and bold, or subtle. <br />
All too often, I hear students say they're afraid to try their hand at watercolor washes and backgrounds.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I put together a live video today, with a few tips and techniques that will take some mystery out of watercolor backgrounds. <br />
You'll be surprised because I used some mediums that you typically would not think of using for watercolor backgrounds. I used Color Burst, Color Burst Ink Pads, Liquid Watercolors and Color Burst Ink from a refill bottle.<br />
<br />
You'll have to watch, the results are beautiful and easy to replicate over and over. <br />

Thank you for joining me today! I hope you're inspired to create a few watercolor backgrounds for your next crafting project. <br />

<br />
Hi everybody, I've been wanting to try a poured paint project for a while now. So, this afternoon, at the end of the day, I found myself a little time to mix up the paints and try it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The trick with this technique is to mix a few different colors of paint, so that they have varying thickness or viscosity. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mixed Color Burst and Liquid Metals with my White Acrylic Medium and Clear Sealer. I used Turquoise, Lemon Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Olive Green, Yellow Gold, and Metallic Jade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5677F6SZF-P-7FzWVgONctbM8FCeLElnBp6eX_6cnN9MZ8Er11q89Ik2BPzq23N8kurQ4vJ3sFMt8z-LNgs21BHbk6kbhy_CaC7ecdIvFxeeCuVfV7J2iDf4AsJRpOLHC0qJ33qnrFJgs/s1600/2017-06-29+17.10.51.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5677F6SZF-P-7FzWVgONctbM8FCeLElnBp6eX_6cnN9MZ8Er11q89Ik2BPzq23N8kurQ4vJ3sFMt8z-LNgs21BHbk6kbhy_CaC7ecdIvFxeeCuVfV7J2iDf4AsJRpOLHC0qJ33qnrFJgs/s640/2017-06-29+17.10.51.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The next little trick is to pour the mediums that you've just created into a cup or vessel to pour from, without mixing them together. I used a paper coffee cup from my last visit to the coffee shop. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjS_S8ojfXJwJKxSlSW_fz91vKaxoUUook1mdF3TNb1Tc6KZpY-lu2hgaKLHbC1nP42twaOZ35WEpz748VPbBCkLgyhOIkkGUYFeHtGDmZIdWXjGHwulvnLhgFFNjlvizEjFaw20QkAFvX/s1600/2017-06-29+17.36.29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjS_S8ojfXJwJKxSlSW_fz91vKaxoUUook1mdF3TNb1Tc6KZpY-lu2hgaKLHbC1nP42twaOZ35WEpz748VPbBCkLgyhOIkkGUYFeHtGDmZIdWXjGHwulvnLhgFFNjlvizEjFaw20QkAFvX/s640/2017-06-29+17.36.29.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I created a little pour station outside with a box lid, and some small plastic cups to hold my surface above my pour tray.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifTX47pS-Og7KNKPaeB3wv3kJ4uzastIrmDTugy-dBItKK8GdkCdy7hIgZGUgrwTV-in-0TX0NutYYNpepAlA2vTtIv6RI-S5LTuUkBkSJflZ2MeoHXiXvUrezjiXKf3LWX3kfeJVsxBwO/s1600/2017-06-29+17.30.58.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifTX47pS-Og7KNKPaeB3wv3kJ4uzastIrmDTugy-dBItKK8GdkCdy7hIgZGUgrwTV-in-0TX0NutYYNpepAlA2vTtIv6RI-S5LTuUkBkSJflZ2MeoHXiXvUrezjiXKf3LWX3kfeJVsxBwO/s640/2017-06-29+17.30.58.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With my surface in place, I was ready to pour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I really liked pouring paint. Now, to let it dry to see how it turns out. Some of the areas are really thick with paint, so I think I'll have to wait til tomorrow to see the end result.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeuM43OHEwZw3ZKpM64D-SS9rQrnU9WP8Suya9LAB3Qe5LZzAlSCWNrlIpsDGpte_nPCQWkIijCqzFub0IIx3XC6KqXF696YOE1673W__RQegHHs_jXaLMpIM3Id9tUQyo2Jdce7CRFKu/s1600/2017-06-29+17.45.40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVeuM43OHEwZw3ZKpM64D-SS9rQrnU9WP8Suya9LAB3Qe5LZzAlSCWNrlIpsDGpte_nPCQWkIijCqzFub0IIx3XC6KqXF696YOE1673W__RQegHHs_jXaLMpIM3Id9tUQyo2Jdce7CRFKu/s640/2017-06-29+17.45.40.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For now, this was a great little diversion, that let me try a new technique and practice a little non representational abstract expression with paint.<br />
<br />
Til next time, Ken<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am so excited about my new studio space, I decided, that I'd open up the door and invite a few friends inside to make a few cards with Color Burst! It's the first time I've ever offered a "pop up" workshop. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The "pop up" class I'll offer is a Galaxy Card class with Color Burst. Galaxy backgrounds are so popular now and so easy to create with Color Burst. I'll have everything needed to create 6, 5x7 cards! And, I'll have plenty of sentiment dies, in case you'd like to make Christmas cards or cards for other occasions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you're local or nearby and you see this...sign up now. My studio space is small...I can only seat 6 at a time. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am really happy to be able to offer classes locally now! Watch my
blog and Facebook pages, because I'll most likely offer a few more "pop up"
classes between now and the end of the year!</span> <br />

Hi everybody, I hope you're having a beautiful day...it's a beautiful, crisp, fall afternoon where I live, it couldn't be more perfect.<br />
Recently, I posted a video on Facebook live and I wanted to follow up today with a few clearer photos of the technique that I showed in the video. The technique is "faux weathered wood" with Color Burst. It's a great watercolor technique that instantly make you look like an accomplished water colorist. <br />

All you need is some watercolor paper, Color Burst ( I used Burnt Umber, Cerulean Blue, and Lamp Black) and a fan brush! <br />

A fan brush will let you create lines and streaky textures with Color Burst. <br />

The contest is over, and the winners have been chosen, but I thought you might enjoy learning the technique.<br />
<br />
To finish these cards, I added a tiny water colored die cut leaf to the envelope. It looks pretty cool. <br />

Thank you for visiting my blog today and for watching my video! I hope you'll try this technique, once you master it...your friends will think you're a watercolor expert! I'm thinking that this background would look great with a die cut Christmas wreath on it too! <br />

<br />
<br />
Hey everybody, I am a collector of old stuff...so, you can't imagine how happy I was when I found reverse glass painting in an antique store the other day. Reverse glass painting has been around since the middle ages in one form or another. This piece is a vintage piece from the 30's or 40's and based on the subject matter, may have been created by a local artist. <br />
<br />

<br />
I really loved the image...it's like so many images I photograph while walking on the river near my home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And, although the "crinkled" aluminum foil background is typical for pieces created during the 30s and 40s, I felt like it needed something more. I really wanted to see this piece with a magnificent sunset behind it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really love that silhouette image, I see it quite often when I'm walking near the river.<br />
<br />

<br />
So I decided that it would be great to use Color Burst to create a wonderful, watercolor background that would capture some of the beauty of our sunsets.<br />
<br />
First, I removed the tiny nails from the frame that held the foil background in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpSPditRM1zNNEvTx1tvKI6PmWISv5KE3cNDISiqA88omnfRKxE1F2zVVTFQHTqAe6FY1QpWIDsb725b3NqAX1T_ds-RwxeGq2kR5slPustVy9Xdg2TknB4muhAWBn9RyPrjFBIf1dcLr/s1600/2016-10-08+11.54.35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpSPditRM1zNNEvTx1tvKI6PmWISv5KE3cNDISiqA88omnfRKxE1F2zVVTFQHTqAe6FY1QpWIDsb725b3NqAX1T_ds-RwxeGq2kR5slPustVy9Xdg2TknB4muhAWBn9RyPrjFBIf1dcLr/s640/2016-10-08+11.54.35.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then carefully removed the backing and the foil back ground. I discovered that this was a "at home" DIY piece...the mat board on the reverse side was actually a phone book cover.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-R2Xv34fB0vUgGbAtbq5eoU_aLczY0FF8LZVcKMdrPjlsm7Vi9JFE1tzBjIN0QORCU9WOWnuuzFpkhV8yJr15EG2Dp_UcVR46gh9MOHs38QWqTxWOCYhV3IQM6VEGwkMRej60PEE3sNl/s1600/2016-10-09+09.16.23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-R2Xv34fB0vUgGbAtbq5eoU_aLczY0FF8LZVcKMdrPjlsm7Vi9JFE1tzBjIN0QORCU9WOWnuuzFpkhV8yJr15EG2Dp_UcVR46gh9MOHs38QWqTxWOCYhV3IQM6VEGwkMRej60PEE3sNl/s640/2016-10-09+09.16.23.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's close up of the foil once the piece had been deconstructed. There were a couple different kinds of foil, and it looks like they had some color, but the color has faded away over the years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The next thing I needed to do was to create a Color Burst color palette that would, approximate the colorful sunsets I see outside my front door nearly every day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-xeOlPlnXl_5H9oHWUolcH4bmZKkUoB72QgniBffMuIOf8ZfvQXFh7a9WJy_uKyR02vN7OzTOeCFXLhWG_YXJAKUMfoHaha_AMdTka08Dgim4zinjDiPD5eLZHXNvuT0q3GJ99mBqLia/s1600/2016-10-09+18.21.01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc-xeOlPlnXl_5H9oHWUolcH4bmZKkUoB72QgniBffMuIOf8ZfvQXFh7a9WJy_uKyR02vN7OzTOeCFXLhWG_YXJAKUMfoHaha_AMdTka08Dgim4zinjDiPD5eLZHXNvuT0q3GJ99mBqLia/s640/2016-10-09+18.21.01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I chose, Cerulean Blue Ultramarine Blue, Lemon Yellow, Gamboge, Orange, and Merlot. That's a lot of color for an 8x10 background...but I wanted it to be very colorful! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEnZgoiPUksL08OZwEhbQeIBKoXGnZGJJ__VNNFqg_Up7yG_6iC_50RFXCwcvipO5iRsJdDROjjFZzHZlyqhHhKEzjVjabm6AoBbrjbysTdQlPbmZvduR4ehLcQyLIrtZU1OV_1UyHNRVy/s1600/2016-10-09+12.04.59.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEnZgoiPUksL08OZwEhbQeIBKoXGnZGJJ__VNNFqg_Up7yG_6iC_50RFXCwcvipO5iRsJdDROjjFZzHZlyqhHhKEzjVjabm6AoBbrjbysTdQlPbmZvduR4ehLcQyLIrtZU1OV_1UyHNRVy/s640/2016-10-09+12.04.59.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So I created a loose, "washy" background with lots of color. I didn't really try to catch any detail on this background. The details are in the painted glass that overlays this background so you can be messy. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt8gu2vPcxXrsyuSJeS5apoOxzkogbf7FU0fwLKYkiBdxpzrp58oqWjp_4CEnJKdfoi0kZRXa4L_ynm6OYbQW0CrL7-np73aNlxpV-LyY2RswC4gzkXy0QGtIqVClFT8hLi4gepPwIAA3/s1600/2016-10-09+09.13.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEt8gu2vPcxXrsyuSJeS5apoOxzkogbf7FU0fwLKYkiBdxpzrp58oqWjp_4CEnJKdfoi0kZRXa4L_ynm6OYbQW0CrL7-np73aNlxpV-LyY2RswC4gzkXy0QGtIqVClFT8hLi4gepPwIAA3/s640/2016-10-09+09.13.32.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When I reassembled this piece with it's new Color Burst background...I loved it even more. The sunset is so glowy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I moved back, I found the ideal location to live and work. I live in a historic building in Newburgh, Indiana, on the banks of the Ohio River. It's perfect...my town has quite a few antique stores, a few artists, a few galleries, great restaurants, friendly people and amazing water views every day of the year! It's really an incredible set up! I have loved every minute of it and not once regretted "ditching" my corporate job and moving back to "small town" America. </div>

Yet, at the same time, I am outgrowing my present space! There are times when I need to have help kitting for classes...my current studio is on the 3rd floor, so it's not exactly conducive for moving boxes and boxes of art and craft supplies...and there's not a lot of room for additional people to help me do my business...and, routinely, I get requests to stop by my studio for a visit. I've had guests from all over the USA, from New Zealand, and this year the Director of the Indiana Board of Tourism even paid a visit to my humble little studio. <br />

So, when the office space, on the first floor of my building became available...I jumped on it! And, I am so excited about what that's going to mean for me and my business...I'll be able to do a lot of things that I've only dreamed about until now. <br />

<br />
It's my plan to develop a working studio where I can host gallery nights and pop up exhibits. There are so many wonderful local artists whose work needs to be seen. I am planning to work with The SW Indiana Council of the Arts to make this happen!<br />
My new space will also allow me to develop a space to create videos and more online content. I could not be happier about everything my new space will allow me to do! It's not my intention to be a retail store, with regular hours...at all. I'm a hippy artist and keeping a regular schedule ain't my bag these days. Instead...it's my goal to create a maker space that will allow me to expand on the things I'm already doing...and I think it's gonna be pretty dang cool.<br />
<br />
It's all really new, and happening really fast...I get the space around the first of November...and I can't wait to get started. <br />

Hey everybody, Fall is finally here and no doubt your craft projects and art will be inspired by this wonderful season. This is a watercolor painting project that I think you'll love. It's a pumpkin patch painting using one of my new 12"x12" stencils and Color Burst. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiJHgdPKVMgCWaVrQKvLULTJT5gscP6i7vY5AOptzkUyfVFUsZF8GltspfNku_r_kDNBuZA6TebElTWKG68R3vQbEBR6lwdPoDlg4gf1QVbGgECYEyizEXfCLM27rUqILDV1DFmn6YZ3A_/s640/2016-09-26+10.10.02.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<br />
I chose a Color Burst palette that's perfect for fall...Yellow Ochre, Orange, Burnt Orange, Burnt Umber and Lamp Black. I love this color palette for fall...in fact, it's the first time that I've really focused on using Burnt Orange...the deep orange tone is wonderful! <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, here's the new stencil I used. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's 12"x12" and called Harvest Pumpkins.</div>

<br />
To get started, I placed the stencil on top of one of my 12"x12" Mixed Media Art Boards, the front side of the board is covered with watercolor paper, so it's a great surface for this project. And, as you can see, I've already used this stencil with black ink, It actually helps you to see the stencil image in this photo. <br />

<br />
With the stencil in place, I used a pencil to trace the outline of the pumpkins, and if you'll notice, I used the stencil to add an additional pumpkin...I simply traced the 2 pumpkins in the foreground, and moved the stencil over to add an additional pumpkin in the background on the right side of the composition. Here's a tip, you do not have to "draw" this image with any exact precision...in fact, I just kind of scribbled through the stencil to create my "drawing."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then, I started to paint the image with Color Burst Burnt Orange and water. You may have seen Color Burst sprinkled and spritzed...painting with Color Burst is a little different. Tap out a bit of Color Burst powder into a paint palette, then pick up the pigment with a wet brush and begin painting and blending.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRGcxCtN9lC5DHkxNKSSIgYx2z2iSOycdVyi1ykKuv6WlC4sbOuA9mCi3uXfpXXK7U0zCNW-81nq9gNYsvUo6UK7K0onWlnYtbTVsebhbPJr6kaGajWYUN53UvzUnzkZ-18c7MnW5I_I2/s1600/2016-09-24+21.45.33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRGcxCtN9lC5DHkxNKSSIgYx2z2iSOycdVyi1ykKuv6WlC4sbOuA9mCi3uXfpXXK7U0zCNW-81nq9gNYsvUo6UK7K0onWlnYtbTVsebhbPJr6kaGajWYUN53UvzUnzkZ-18c7MnW5I_I2/s640/2016-09-24+21.45.33.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
From here on out, it's like paint by numbers, I completed the painting by filling in little sections, until each section was painted. It's cool to watch it all come together. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3c96eWf1idc1PxUgsRQbkR3psP85KrbjNa3lHJblMqAbeoDcv3saio3fLtceKdP7MF3mVR9nIPwQeYV51hcALnEuyUx3AMOMTs54ladsK85qSumgijOcskgwJmz0H2KmuDB0sSyk_NWA/s1600/2016-09-24+22.00.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq3c96eWf1idc1PxUgsRQbkR3psP85KrbjNa3lHJblMqAbeoDcv3saio3fLtceKdP7MF3mVR9nIPwQeYV51hcALnEuyUx3AMOMTs54ladsK85qSumgijOcskgwJmz0H2KmuDB0sSyk_NWA/s640/2016-09-24+22.00.15.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And then, used Color Burst Olive Green to paint the leaves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypEi017_qbtOLXAplhJjAWyb-dCYyhPCaGThPS_0ZHfmh8jRTM0ZSPzYpAl1lgAaKHf2YMSb2bkVm6pJuO1OSyBWagjWJhBGG7MpeXxQddctAYOBPF_T8TzlOsrHHk8PB-FNHDvq5lntr/s1600/2016-09-24+22.26.12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypEi017_qbtOLXAplhJjAWyb-dCYyhPCaGThPS_0ZHfmh8jRTM0ZSPzYpAl1lgAaKHf2YMSb2bkVm6pJuO1OSyBWagjWJhBGG7MpeXxQddctAYOBPF_T8TzlOsrHHk8PB-FNHDvq5lntr/s640/2016-09-24+22.26.12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
To paint the background, I create a muted wash with Yellow Ochre, Olive Green, and Burnt Umber.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWqew2IzInLvDjwyiCkxccraDA9P5IKccqDeiVqV8bZ4IUzzHCa9OpKCP8j4ItqJ4T5nx6s96t9M6baADZiG2s-qL2hg2B37T90lL8Jz72-ekynsOvjOBPueoCWCxz9k1JZ9pyYuHJEgG/s1600/2016-09-25+08.28.26.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWqew2IzInLvDjwyiCkxccraDA9P5IKccqDeiVqV8bZ4IUzzHCa9OpKCP8j4ItqJ4T5nx6s96t9M6baADZiG2s-qL2hg2B37T90lL8Jz72-ekynsOvjOBPueoCWCxz9k1JZ9pyYuHJEgG/s640/2016-09-25+08.28.26.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And filled in the remaining areas with a subtle watercolor wash. You'll notice, I left the tendrils blank until the watercolor wash background was complete. It's easier to paint them on top of the background rather than to paint around them.<br />
To complete the painting, fill in the details, like the tendrils, pumpkin stems and...<br />
<br />

Hey everybody, I hope you're having a great day! I am having an artful day in my workroom, creating shaped cards with my newest die and stamp sets...this set is called Tree of Life. You can use the stamp and coordinating dies for lots of projects ranging from cards to mixed media art.</div>

These sets are beautiful and intricately detailed. I designed them especially for coloring. You can color with Color Burst, watercolors, or your favorite markers.<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
To get started, I stamped the Tree of Life image on my <a href="https://shop.canvascorpbrands.com/collections/ken-oliver-water-media-papers/products/ken-oliver-water-media-paper-8-5x11" target="_blank">Water Media Paper</a> from Canvas Corp. with Archival Ink. You'll want to use a permanent ink that it waterproof and won't run when you color over it.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKE-DuWitY6j9OmqczWi8toqfBjNPc9Rb28q8em8rTo7Y4I0Fb9HokpP7x6PJ0tckGGce9GhyHZAhfoz1LYc_rUaoH2kGR7JqWAIjtQZjkTAZUUnL2t6jYgSTGWiohk4flPgTL4SIUOKS2/s640/2016-09-15+03.52.08.png" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then, I colored using my newest Color Burst colors, Rich Moroccan Shades. The color palette is beautiful and includes Cadmium Scarlet, Cerulean Blue, Gamboge, Olive Green, Burnt Umber and Lamp Black. And, I colored with a watercolor brush and water. <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When I'd finished coloring, I cut a shaped card from my Water Media Paper and cut out the colored image with the die set. Before I cut the die, I applied Stick It adhesive to the back side of the Water Media Paper...it really makes gluing intricate die cuts very easy. <br />
<br />

I made a couple examples for you to see...one with a background of Cerulean Blue, and one with a background of Gamboge. <br />

Hi everybody,<br />
This past week, our color challenge was to use the colors Turquoise, Chartreuse, Yellow Ochre and Burnt Umber on a project or work of art. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a great color palette to use and a little unexpected...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJYbwLMyFXzvqnoUa-18M9NRXpnK3NCwECf29rSHydqwkncySB7kgQkifDURKTU21NbAyWe_wfhqF2VU28zmI56XcuRlSQcc_-2FsTdtksC7Xvjob_wzmORLHXAdB17fXCTEJsudttrfjx/s1600/2016-08-24+12.07.44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJYbwLMyFXzvqnoUa-18M9NRXpnK3NCwECf29rSHydqwkncySB7kgQkifDURKTU21NbAyWe_wfhqF2VU28zmI56XcuRlSQcc_-2FsTdtksC7Xvjob_wzmORLHXAdB17fXCTEJsudttrfjx/s640/2016-08-24+12.07.44.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...but it works because it's an analogous color palette, or, the colors are beside each other on the color wheel. (Burnt Umber is neutral). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, I've been amazed by the projects that everyone has submitted. They're all just stunning. At first, I thought I'd randomly pick a winner. But, the works are all so beautiful, I couldn't choose one myself, so I would like to put it up for a vote. Please vote for your favorite by commenting with the Number and Name of the project that you would like to vote for.</div>

The voting is now open and will remain open until noon, 12:00 pm, August 31, 2016, so you only have 1 day to vote. Feel free to share this blog post with your friends to let them see the color palette we worked with and give them the chance to vote for their favorite. Tomorrow, I'll count the votes and name the winner here and on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kenolivercrafts/" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a>. The winner will receive a set of Color Burst Caribbean Brights. <br />
<br />
Thank you again to everyone who took my color challenge this week. I'm planning to have another color challenge really soon!<br />

Hi Everybody! I hope you're having a fantastic day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know, but, if you're like me, but every now and then I see a color palette that really gets me excited. Recently, I noticed that the Color Burst colors Turquoise, Chartreuse, Yellow Ochre and Burnt Umber look fabulous together! And I wanted to challenge myself to create some work this week with this color palette. </div>

The challenge is pretty easy, just create something that you like, using these 4 colors. You can create anything you wish, a card, a mixed media piece, a collage, a painting, a tag, a scrapbook layout...heck, knit a scarf using these colors together! You'll love the result! </div>

Here's why this color palette works, it's an analogous color palette, that means these colors are beside each other on the color wheel. So, because their made of blues and yellows, when used together, they create a very harmonious color effect that is cooling, relaxing and peaceful. You can see below, on this example, how the colors fall beside each other on the color wheel. </div>
