NEW VIDEO - Fall Wreath Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to a new Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie is continuing with her wreaths for this beautiful autumn-themed wreath, adorned with pumpkins, branches and a robin in the middle. Bonnie starts by making a circle and drawing quadrants inside. She stamps the pumpkin from our WC Series 3 Set 1 in each of the sections and pulls the color from the lines. She repeats the process and adds branches, bundles, vines, and buds. Bonnie uses her beautiful Fall colors - olive green, olive brown, English red, and sepia. For the final touch, Bonnie adds a branch in the center with a tiny robin from our WC Birds Set resting on it.

NEW VIDEO - Halloween Scene Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to a spooky and sweet Halloween treat for Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie created a creepy cottage adorned with dry branch trees, cheerful jack-o-lanterns, and a barbed fence with spider webs. She starts by stamping the WC Cottage in the center and pulling the color from the lines and adding African Violet and Sepia from the palette for the darkened windows and doorways, plus a little ghost peeking out the top opening. From there she creates a dark sky around the cottage and stamps the WC Branches for the sparse trees. Next, she uses the Stamp Positioner to place the pumpkins from our WC Series 3 Set 1. She colors them with Terra Cotta from the palette and draws in their expressions. She also uses the positioner to place parts of the fence from our Old Barn Mini Set on either side of the pumpkins. For the final touches, Bonnie adds tiny grass around the base of the images and draws in cobwebs for the perfect Halloween effect.
