Watercolor 3 Ways w/Honey Bee Stamps Everything Beautiful

Hello Friends! Today’s video is a paid partnership for Honey Bee Stamps featuring a stamp set illustrated by Kelly Taylor. 😍 I am in love with Kelly’s florals and could not wait to watercolor these tulips and alstromeria.

But, I also wanted to recap some of the beginner friendly ways to watercolor these images. Ways that started me on my own watercolor journey. You can check out the video below and be sure to scroll down for more info on Honey Bee’s Sale!

The first technique covers the easiest and most forgiving way to get beautiful results. Heat embossing the image creates little wells to hold each color and keep them from getting away from you. It’s quick, easy, and turns out amazing every time!

For the second technique I share how to move more comfortably into controlling the water without the help of the embossed lines. Here, the visible stamping retains the form and structure of each element allowing you to just worry about color placement.

For the third we take a look at no-line watercolor. I share how to drop the line work and use lights and darks to capture the structure and form of the florals.

All three of these techniques are fun and can be adapted to any skill level. I just love how all of them turned out and had so much fun revisiting some of the older techniques that I hadn’t done in a while.
