I’ve been playing with my Aqua Tints by Spectrum Noir (super awesome liquid watercolours) and have been inspired by Sheena Douglass to create my own set of technique tags. A lot of these were suggested by Sheena on her colouring DVD and YouTube channel but I have added some other techniques from here and there. I’d like to keep adding to this page when I do more! The tags used are Craftwork Cards Essentials Tags.
From left to right: original colour, mixed with white (opaque goache), mixed with black (tint)
Mica paints: mixed with silver (more silver), mixed with gold (less gold)
Mica resist using Sheena’s stencil with gold and then washing colour over
Pastel layers using two layers of pastel blocks allowing to dry in between layers
Using glycerine and cut ‘n’ dry foam to blend colours
Salt technique: add salt to wet colours and leave to dry
Brayering: two colours added one at a time with brayer, also distress ink around edge
Gesso surface: colour painted on top, also flicked water to create faux bleaching
Sponging with kitchen sponge
Cling Film wrinkles with silver
White stamping top layer
Marbling by dragging through colours but needs to include white
White top layer over coloured layer
Great idea - I really should do this to remind me how I achieved effects
