Today, I am sharing a simple water color technique using the newly released beech tree from the Art-Kure Timeless Britain Collection.
For the background, I scribbled markers onto a non-stick surface, spritzed water and ran a piece of 140lb hot pressed watercolor paper through the color. I used my finger to spread color across. I created a couple backgrounds while I had my supplies out.
Next, I colored the image direct with the markers using two greens and running a brown marker up the center and over a few of the branches. I spritzed the tree with water and stamped onto the background I created. I then stippled the green areas with a wide water brush.
Without cleaning the stamp, I spritzed one time and stamped onto the right side of a piece of white card stock. I repeated on the left side of the card stock.
For the inside of the card, I stamped tree tops at the bottom.
