I decided to show you all a really easy water color technique.
You will need Staz on, colored pencils, blending stumps, a dry body oil (do NOT use baby oil), and of course some really cute stamps that you would like to color in.
1. Stamp your image using the Staz On.
2. Take your colored pencil and color a dark line around the edge of the image.
3. Dip your blending stump in the oil and scrap the excess off on the top of the oil bottle. You don't want a lot of oil on your blending stump. Trace the colored pencil line that you made, and then start blending the color into the middle. Repeat until you get desired color. You can always use different colors. I do this a lot in my flowers.
That is it! Easy right?

I had some questions about the oil I used. I used Palmers Body Oil. It says "dry oil" on the bottle which means that it dries fast on the skin so that it doesn't stain your clothes. Any body oil that dries fast or says it is a dry oil will work. Baby oil will bleed so do not use it.
ReplyDeleteGreat technique!
ReplyDeletethanks for the hop and technique. I have never heard of dry body oil. I haven't even used the gamosil that I have heard of but I am going to try this. tfs
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting something else to work with my watercolor pencils....I haven't been totally happy with just my blending pen. Thanks for this tip. I'll have to look for this type of body oil. I'm now following your bog. It's so cute!! Love the color scheme.
