Water Colour Hydrangea
I've been playing with different types of water colours and I just came across this gorgeous Stampendous Hydrangea stamp which I thought would be fun to paint. I used 140lb water colour paper and stamped the image with Distress ink in Weathered Wood. I mixed paint from the Kuretake paint set in a palette with enough water to thin it quite a lot. This paint is heavily pigmented and is opaque when used straight from the box. I wanted a more transparent look. I used wet on wet to paint the flowers and then pained the background using the same colours plus blue in a very thinned down solution. I was going to add a sentiment, but I don't know what occasion I will use this for yet.
