Sharing my\u00a0Speed Watercolor Painting Paint & Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist project. It is a great project to complete and then you can have a gift on hand. This project took about 30 minutes to make and since I had all the supplies it didn’t cost a lot. The frame was from Dollar Tree and was you got it, a dollar.<\/p>\n

I decided to play with watercoloring because of a Facebook post that one of my friends shared. She was working on a journal page swap and watercolored. Not only did she watercolor she also doodled on the page to give it another step of texture.<\/p>\n

Looking around in my stash of art supplies I realized I didn’t have watercolor paints. Well, not paints I wanted to use for this project. Watercolor paints are just paints watered down, so I thought I’ll just use acrylic paint.<\/p>\n

Armed with watercolor paper, water, and acrylic paint it was time to begin. Deciding that my watercolor paper should be mounted while I paint I used a large ceramic tile. Masking tape was used to keep the paper in place. What I should have used was a low tack tape, but I was using what I had on hand.<\/p>\n

Since I knew I wanted shimmer on this painting I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. Glimmer Mist adds just a touch of sparkle, it makes me smile.<\/p>\n

The circle in the middle was from a glass candle holder that I dipped into black acrylic paint. The saying is a stamp from Stampin Up. I used Black Stazon Ink to stamp the sentiment.<\/p>\n

Because I used the wrong kind of tape to hold down my paper, when I removed it, the paper tore. To hide the damage I created a mat using cardstock, a ruler and a craft knife.\"Speed<\/a><\/p>\n

Framed art brings joy to me. That is why I used a small five by seven frame to display this piece of watercolor.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Speed Watercolor Painting Paint & Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist has now given me a bug. More watercolor paintings were made and I know more are to come.<\/p>\n

This was a fun medium to work with today. Have you tried working with Watercolors? Let me know your thoughts.<\/p>\n
