Welcome to Sunday! I hope you have had a creative week! I had fun doodling with my stencils and watercolors yesterday. I started by creating a large grid of different sized squares and rectangles (which was actually a stencil I cut) and washed across the page using a light grey.
Once the grid was in place, I chose different stencils and watercolored them into each section. There were a couple that I used Distress Ink Pads on but 99% of this is all watercolor. I discovered a new doodling technique by scribbling through the stencil that I laid on top of the color. I love this weird scratchy look.
So to go along with that scratchy look, I outlined the squares and some of the stencil images in the same style. Where extra water created a more blended look and loss of the defined image, I left those areas undefined.
Some of the stencil images continued into the next space and I went along with that when I outlined them and the blocks where they overlapped. I think it created a really interesting look.
This was a lot of fun and I plan on doing more of this inside my watercolor journal.
There are more stencils coming and even rubber stamps with imagery taken from my earlier Thermofax Screen designs. I can't wait and will keep you updated!
Have a great weekend and keep on creating!
Margaret
