Rainbow Smiles

I can't believe I haven't posted since Thursday - but I've been working on report cards - so I guess that's part of the reason time has passed me by.

I sat down with the Friday Mashup this afternoon - They are working with the following sketch this week and incorporating rainbow colours into the project for the mashup.

I decided to pull out the watercolour paper and douse it with reinker.

To get the bands of colour,

1)  I used an aqua painter  to wet  a small section of the paper

2) Add a drop of reinker and hold it vertically so the ink drips down the wet section - help it along with the aqua painter if necessary.

3) Continue across your paper until you've filled in the sections.  As I wet each section, I let some of the water bleed into the previous section so that the colour would blend a bit.

Here is the Friday Mashup Sketch

And here are my card instructions….
