Hello friends!
Welcome to another Smiling Colors Video.
This is Smitha here also known as @theshinynest on instagram with a new tutorial- today we
are exploring how to create watercolor backgrounds with markers
I am going to walk you through the steps on how you can create this artsy messy colorful
watercolor look here, using markers- just 4 colors of markers and a few cotton swabs.
Sounds intriguing right?
But trust me it is super fun!
So lets get started.
Hers what you will need.
A few card bases, we are going turn our watercolor backgrounds into cards.
Watercolor paper, I am using a good 140b paper, that I've trimmed to our card size already.
Today the Tombow Design team is collaborating with Sweet stamp shop, so I have these adorable
stamps, that I plan to stamp onto these small pieces of cardstock with some black Versafine
ink.
I also have an acrylic stamp block, all of my 96 Tombow Dual Brush pen colors to choose
from, a few cotton swabs, a paint brush and my blending palette.
I am going to use my blending palette, but instead show you blending hack using my acrylic
stamp block itself.
I also have Tombow;s Xtreme adhesive and a black pen- I am using the Mono Twin permanent
marker here.
Time to create.
I chose 4 colors of pens here today- these are marker number 743, 933, 985 and 703
You just start by adding blocks of color using the brush tip of the Dual brush pens.
Get messy, have fun and just add color.
You don't have to be too neat.
You can try this technique with any water based marker.
All you need to do is, dip your cotton swab into water and then add water stripes I think
I can call them onto each color.
You wont see anything at first, but after a few seconds the color pigments react with
the water and create this cool abstract like pattern.
Here let me show you that again.
Scribble your color onto the watercolor paper.
This works best on watercolor papers or mixed media papers because of all he water we are
going to add.
Then dip you cotton swab into some water and draw lines onto the color.
Give it a few minutes and you will see that the colors change, move and blend and give
this beautiful watery look.
At this point you could totally stop and call it good.
But I am going to go ahead and add a few more layers of color.
Thats just who I am.
I am going to use the acrylic stamp block as blending palette and simple scribble some
of the yellow color onto it.
And then I am picking up the color with a wet paint brush and adding my hello to any
empty white space I can see.
My watercolor paper is still moist, it hasn't dried completely, so this watery yellow color
blends into the previous layers nicely.
AT this point I want to add a bit more color, but I am going to quickly dry this first and
see things along with my heat gun.
You could put this aside to air dry naturally but I am impatient today so heat gun it is.
Now this has dried quite a bit and looks pretty, but lets add another layer of color, this
time I am scribbling the yellow onto the acrylic stamp block again and then pressing the block
directly onto the paper.
This adds softs splotches of the yellow.
Finally, I am dipping a clean cotton swab in water and then just tapping the cotton
swab onto the paper to add big dots of water.
This water will react with the color beneath and add more details and variations of color.
I am just taking a paper towel here, you could use a clean kitchen towel instead and I am
pressing it down to absorb the water and you can see that where ever we added the cotton
swab dots the color lightened.
so pretty!
I am put this one aside to dry now and lets start to create another background now.
This time I scribbled just two colors- yellow and orange to fill the paper.
Then I am going in with cotton swab dipped in water to add dots of water and blend some
areas.
Next, add pink to the acrylic stamp blcok, and then with my paint brush I am watering
it down and then I am placing the block direct onto the paper.
And letting it sit there a few seconds, This is a great way to add a water color effect,
and since the blending palette is opaque, I like to you use this transparent acrylic
block that I can see through.
A quick drying with the heat gun again.
and now I am just adding some water with the paint brush to cover up any white space I
can see and blend any marker color that remained.
Again I love how this looks already and you could totally stop here.
But I will go forward, and this time I am picking up some pink color off my acrylic
block with my cotton swab and then I am adding these soft pink dots as another layer of color.
And we let this dry too.
While those dry, I am going to quickly stamp this cute dog and cat image using a black
ink.
I am not a great stamper, so my advice to myself is to always keep it simple.
I am handlettering a sentiment- happy birthday onto one and then thank you for the other
one.
right beneath the stamped images.
I find that these are the kind of cards I give out the most and I tend to make these
more so that I can have a small stash on hand.
Now its time to put our cards together, this goes quickly since we already have everything
ready.
Those backgrounds dried beautifully, I love the color on it.
And I decided to add the stamped images to the bottom, and I also quickly added a line
of doodled dashes to tie the card elements together.
Then using the Tombow Xtreme adhesive I am adhering everything into place.
I always use the Tombow Xtremre with watercolor paper- it holds it in place neatly and prevents
the paper from bending.
I love how cute this turned out!
This technique is a great one to use any frayed pens you might have.
It is a great beginner technique with no wrong way to do it.
Whatever you make will be fun and I'm sure colorful.
