Love fall, particularly pumpkins. And I have one, very small, pumpkin stamp. Hopefully, I'll remedy that soon.
So, while I ponder this stamp season's pumpkin offerings, I drew and water colored one. I was very much inspired by this print, which I saw on Wren's Roost Etsy Shop.
Supplies:
- Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints
- Watercolor paper
- Pencil with eraser
- Water
- Paint brushes
- Paper towels
- HELLO die by Memory Box
- A2 white card
- Paper trimmer
- Patience (those layers of paint have to dry)
Oh boy Joan... you make the drawing and water coloring part sound so easy!
ReplyDeleteI am in your corner... love this!
Lovely pumpkin! I like the card too.
ReplyDeleteI.love.it.
ReplyDeleteeven more since you drew it...amazing work.
i think it's fantastic - i'm on your side in this debate!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pumpkin Joan! Your hand drawn watercolored cards lately have really inspired me.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Love the design ... We in Alabama have our windows open, too .. unheard of in August!
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to KNOW your work before I see the watermark. Not that you have a watermark on this one, but you know what I mean, LOVE the multi-colored splatters:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb painted pumpkin! Your watercolouring is impressive and I too love the splatters.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pumpkin, Joan! Love the layers of color.
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous - especially since you drew and painted this freehand! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it! Your artwork is lovely for a card, but I'd be tempted to use it for Fall decoration in the house, too. You know, a framed piece sitting on a table, so you can admire it throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You can watercolor right out of the park! You don't need a rubber stamp. Crazy beautiful card. Love, love, love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHubby didn't like it huh? Is he like mine and when he doesn't like something he says- " mmmmmm it's not your best work." I love your card and think it is amazing you sat down and watercolored your own pumpkin. BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Joan--sorry, but hubby is wrong this time! ;-/ I've been mire in a drawing mood than stamping mood lately too. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat do husbands know? BUT sometimes they are the only ones around to ask. Frankly I love it, really. To think you drew it free hand makes it more gorgeous. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card _ can't win everyone's heart but you got ours...
ReplyDeleteI think your card is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! You are a watercolor artist!!! This is beautiful, I love that you drew it yourself, and then made it look absolutely real. You are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see the next one! :D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card, with the biggest L-O-V-E you can imagine! Maybe if you colored the pumpkin electric blue on a school bus yellow background then hubby would like it? And you drew it yourself? Fantastically amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think your husband is out voted on this, your card is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, Joan, your DH doesn't like this card??? I think it is fabulous! If I made this card it would be framed, yes!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card! AMAZED at your painted pumpkin! Mr. DP is out of his gourd (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is an amazing card Joan! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAnother drawing? I love it! Mr. DP doesn't know a perfect pumpkin when he sees one, I'm afraid. I think it's perfect.
ReplyDeletewonderful card!!! I just love it!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is jaw-dropping gorgeous!! Love this!
