This is a stamp I've had for quite a few years. A good friend found this set for me, after I fell in love with her's. It's a clear set by Plaid called International Intrigue. I stamped the image on 140lb watercolour paper using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
I used a combination of Reeve's and Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils to colour this image. I also added a little bit of a Copic black Multiliner pen to give some definition to some areas of the buildings. I really enjoyed using my watercolour pencils. I've had that Reeve's set for years and I used to use it all the time, back before I discovered Copics. I'm no artist, so I'm quite happy with my inexpensive pencils.
I think that the faux hand-painting is my favourite technique and I'll be using it a lot!
beautiful scene, lovely use of the technique from class!! :)
