Hello, Ai Watercolor Fans! Who's ready for fall? We have some great inspiration for you today featuring some our NEWEST products! We hope you enjoy this week's selection of projects from our Watercolor Guest Design Team!
Hello Watercolor Friends,
I was blessed with three sons and three grandsons. So the inspiration for my card for the Art Impressions Watercolor Weekend is a Fall fishing scene with my three grandsons - Conor, Caide and Charlie, using the brand new 5054 - WC Little Boys Set. Both the little boys and little girls are must have sets! I used the bucket and log from the brand new 5055 - WC Sitting Places Set for two of the boys to sit on. The trees are from the 5010 - WC Tree Set 1 and the 4960 - WC Fir Tree Set. I used the grass and tree foliage from the 4051 - WC Foliage Set 1. I made the fishing poles from the 4964 - WC Branches Set.

My project for today’s Watercolor Weekend – “Petite Fille” (Little Girl).
Prepare your paper (I used a sheet from a French Dictionary) with watercolor ground, let completely dry. Stamp the darling seated girl from the WC Little Girls Set in Sepia. Mask her off with a post-it note and stamp the long stem flower from the WC Mini Flower Set in African Violet and Olive Green. Watercolor the Art Impressions way by pulling the color from the lines with your paint brush and water. Add a bit of Pink, Prussian Blue, Dark Brown and Rosewood to your palette. Brush the color onto the little girl. Add dot detail to the flowers and tiny hearts to her shirt. Stamp the grass from Foliage Set 1 in Olive Green. Scribble Salvia Blue onto your palette and brush in for the sky.

To start, I inked the small grass from the Foliage Set 1 with Olive Green. I added it to the bottom left of my watercolor paper. The small grass needs to be walked from side to side or up and down, or both! I pulled the color up and out of the lines using a brush stroke.
Next, I created a mask to protect it when I stamp the bucket from the Living Water set. The bucket is inked up with African Violet and Sepia. I masked off the bucket and stamped the mums into the bucket. I used the flower bunch from the Flower Set 2 using Olive Green and English Red.
I masked the entire bucket and stamped the pot from the Small Containers set in Sepia. I used the stamp positioner to make sure I stamped the pot perfectly where I wanted it. I masked the pot using some post it tape. I stamped the mums inked in Olive Green and Orange. I pulled the color out of the lines and softened the mums and added some Brown to the pot using my palette.
I inked up the pumpkin from the Harvest Set in Sepia and stamped in on the right side of the paper. I masked it and using my positioner stamped another pumpkin to its left. I used the other pumpkin in the set and stamped it to the right. I pulled the color out of the lines and added Brilliant Yellow and Orange to all the pumpkins. It is best to slowly build up the color. I added some additional grass in Olive Green below the pumpkins.
I masked the bucket and the pumpkins and stamped the wishing well from the Living Water set inked in Sepia and African Violet. I excluded the back of the well to make room for the flowers. I pulled the color from the lines, being sure to stay within each section.
I added an additional mask to the middle of the well and stamped mums to the right of the well. I inked it up with Olive Green and Brilliant Yellow. I added the flowers to the left side of the well inked in English Red. I used the same flower stamp from the mini flowers set inked in Olive Green, English Red, Orange and Brilliant Yellow and stamped them in the middle of the well. I added water to the blooms.
I added some additional grasses to the bottom of the stones in front of the well. Then I added some Manganese Blue to the background for the sky. As always, I signed and dated the painting.
Thank you so much for spending some time with us and we hope this will be inspiration for you to create a fall scene of your own! Can't wait to see what you come up with. Have a crafty day!
