Altenew Academy: Artist Watercolors 101 for Paper Crafters Lesson 1

Hello!

I have been enjoying Altenew’s recent class with Emily M.Artist Watercolor 101 for Paper Crafters. I am here to share my fun work for the first lesson: Swatches, Glazing Chart and basic techniques. Even though Watercolors are very forgiven, I need to practice a lot 😬, practice makes progress right?

What I can take from today’s lesson: Paper and brushes truly matter. I used a medium quality cold press paper and did not get as beautiful results as expected, and I used natural bristled brushes which were not the best choice for me, I struggled to get control over the bristles. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope to come back soon to show you some of my progress applying the tips learnt in this class.

Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning cricuteers!! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! This fine Monday morning brings another Exploring Cricut Challenge! . This week we are having a Christmas in July Blog hop/ Challenge. So If you came from Michelle S blog you are in the right place! If you just happen to stumble upon my blog ;) and would like to check out all the inspiration provided by the Exploring Cricut team please start here. There might be a few surprises along the way ::hint:: I hope you join us on this blog hop and challenge!! For my project I Created a Card/Gift bag Decor. I have seen some " Card Holders" that you add to the front of a plain GB to help you "show off" your card, after all you have invested time and effort into it so why not showcasing it as part of the gift wrap :).. ( But for the life in me I cannot recall where I saw them or what they are called :?) Got inspired from this idea . So if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit...
