Watercolor Throwback - Wooden Chair Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Time for another Watercolor Throwback from Ai! We have another fan-favorite ready to share with you from the archives. Bonnie created this stunning Wooden Chair Set image back in March of 2017. It has soared to almost 10,000 views on YouTube and is in our top 10 videos released in the last two years!

We love the adorable blue bird, small container, and gorgeous blooms Bonnie added to this image. She also used some items in this video you do not see very often! She featured our ivy vine from the Wooden Chair Set and the small buds and stemmed zinnias from our Flower Set 2!

We hope you enjoy this special throwback! We have exciting new Watercolors coming soon (on August 29!) and cannot wait to share what we have been working on with you!

Happy Watercolor Wednesday!

Heartfelt Gratitude by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!

Today, I have a little watercolor scene I created with Wooden Chair Mini Set, WC Sentiments Set, WC Cats, and WC Flower Set 2, WC Foliage Set 1.

I started by stamping the chair and the flower pot, then the cat. To stamp and color, I used lots of Distress Markers, I'll list them out at the end.

To color the images I also scribbled the colors on a palette and used a paint brush to color the images. Going back over areas with more color to add depth and shading. As I stamped the flowers and foliage I used water and a paintbrush to get the watercolor look.

I added just a little bit of blue to background for a sky. Then I stamped the Heartfelt Gratitude stamp in brown ink. I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle. From my stash, I found some green paper and added it to a white card base. I added the stamped panel with foam tape and last rounded the corners of the card base.

Thanks for stopping by!! Happy Stamping!!

Distress Markers: Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Rusty Hinge, Gathered Twigs, Tea Dye, Bundled Sage, Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Aged Mahogany, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Vintage Photo, Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemon.

NEW VIDEO - Bunny on a Stool Watercolor

Hello Ai Fans!

Welcome to a new video for Watercolor Wednesday! This week, Bonnie transforms our Wooden Chair Mini Set to create a sweet stool for one of our WC Bunnies to rest on. Bonnie starts by only inking (or rubbing off with your thumb!) the front sections of the wooden chair, leaving the back line off. Bonnie then takes our Stamp Positioner to perfectly place the bunny on the stool, and then connecting the back lines and darkening the facial features. 

After pulling the color from the lines with a damp brush, she adds the tall grasses from our Garden Wagon Set and our large grass with our new marker color, #32 Laurel Green. Bonnie brushes in some sky with a mix of #17 Steel Blue and #100 Sapphire with the use of our WC Palette. Bonnie then adds the tall flower from our Flower Cart Set and adds the idea of the tree with our large foliage from our WC Foliage Set 1. Bonnie finishes the image by adding color and shadow to the bunny and two butterflies using our heart-shaped flowers from WC Flower Set 2!

We want to see what you're creating! Make sure to share your images with us on Instagram with the hashtag #AiWatercolor! If you enjoyed this and our other Watercolor Wednesday videos, make sure to give us a thumbs up on YouTube and subscribe to be notified of new uploads!
