watercolor painting – Try It – Like It

by Kristy Rice

I just received this beautiful box of Watercolor Cards by Kristy Rice!
I can’t wait to start painting them—the images are so lovely, they’re truly frame-worthy. This set is part of the Schiffer Publishing Artisan Series, and it’s an inspiring mix of creativity and elegance.

This watercolor card set by Kristy Rice is both beautiful and thoughtfully designed.
Each card is printed on quality watercolor paper and features the same elegant image on the front and as a border on the back, giving you the option to paint both sides. The reverse side also includes an open space for a personal note, poem, or special message. These postcard-style cards are perfect for sending or framing once painted—a truly creative and meaningful way to share art!

I wanted to say a special thank you to Schiffer Publishing for send this special box of card my way.

with Yasutomo

My favorite gold watercolor is Reddish Gold Japanese Watercolor from Yasutomo. So I was excited to see Yasutomo at the Namta/Creativation trade show. I was given a set of watercolor pencils, they aren’t even released yet. So I tried them out and made a thank you note to send to them.

Some items used in this tutorial were provided by the manufacturer in order to promote their products.

When I got home a tried the pencils and painted a flower. The pencils are really nice and creamy.

I really like how the pencils; when water is added, have a result that looks like watercolor paints. But the pencils are so versatile with the ability to add details. You can see the watercolor blending in the flower petals and the detail in the center of the flower.

I chose to use the flower image on a card and of course, I had to use my favorite gold watercolor. The base of the card has a napkin applied with Nori paste, when dry, I used the gold watercolor to bring out the texture. The textured cardstock also has the gold watercolor applied. The belly band made of vellum has a sentiment in gold embossing powder to connect it all together.
