Well hallo you! Seems like ages! To be honest, I have been totes busy of late and have let my wee little corner of the web slide a little.

The good news is that I did manage to squeeze in a little late night fiddling – no, you saucy monkey, not that kind – the creative kind!

With my watercolours I have been building up a little library of techniques and, of course, I just had to share them with you!Just a bit further on I will talk you through all 15 ‘episodes’ and give you a few lovely pics to have a look at.

Don’t want to read the rest of the text in this post? No problem, just click on the sassy text just below, now.

Ok, now that’s all out of the way. Let’s take a look at the playlist.

Intro – This little clip will guide you through what to expect and what materials I will be using most of.

1 The wash. Probably the simplest of all the watercolour techniques.

2 The two colour wash. By adding two or more colours you can create some effective backdrops for your die cuts, stamps or anything else for that matter.

3 Layering, Take a look at how to layer colours and what happens when you do.
4 Spattering. Probably one of the first instinctive art techniques you adopt as a child is now an official grown up creative technique!
5 Spritzing. With the advent of the spritzing mister came a technique for watercolour enthusiasts the world over.
6 Pencil Shavings. Watercolour pencils are much underrated. Take a look at three creative techniques for these affordable watercolour sources.
7 Powders. Ground watercolour pigment can create the most awesome of colour bursts, find out how.
8 Powders With Stencils. Don’t think Stencils are for watercolour hobbyists? Then you’d be wrong.
9 Watercolour Pastels. A relatively new source of colour for the watercolourist, these lipstick-like paints will give you colour beyond imagination.
10 Wash & Blow. Relive your childhood with the simple but highly decorative abstract watercolour technique.
11 Resist With Embossing Powders. Adding colour is great, but resisting it can also be very creative too.
12 Resist With Masking Fluids. Around since the early age of watercolour, masking fluids are often overlooked as a creative medium.
13 Salt Lift. Adding and resisting colour not enough for you. How about lifting it and shifting it with regular table salt?
14 Tissue Lift. Faux crushed velvet or crumpled paper, both styles can be achieved with some watercolour and toilet roll.
15 Dip & Drag. Easy, quick and fun to do, this technique will give you lots of variation and colour in your watercolour projects.

Right, tempted? Ok, just click on the image link below and it’ll take you over to start watching the playlist from the intro.

Enjoy!
