New Beginnings - Video - Unity Blog hop

Is it Spring already?
...the warmer temps around here is  making me feel like Spring has arrived..the snow is melting away and the birds are confused and  back already! I know..I can hear you say.. don't get fooled by this sudden blanket of warmth we still have a lot of white to get through before we can see any green!
.......but I can always paint some flowers and make it look like Spring on my blog..can't I ?

Sentiments like these which are  large enough to be the focal point of my card coupled with a font that is just my absolute favorite are enough to  inspire me to get painting even when I am totally out creative energy!

This lovely sentiment is from Unity Kit Of The Month -magic Of Beginnings . The background has been sketched using watercolors.

 ..and finally, as promised, here is the video for the card below.. I posted this yesterday and if you want to see some close up stills then click here-Strength

 Some midweek inspiration for you....
......lately I have been experimenting a lot and trying to use a limited palette of colors for most of my sketching and painting In particular black and white has caught my attention and I seem to be reaching for tube blacks more often and by that I mean, I usually mix my darks and very rarely use black straight from a tube since it's often too stark but I am liking it of late and as you can see I have been using it quite a bit. In my previous video ..Antique butterfly, I did use black straight from the pan and loved the results.

So I tried it on another piece.....

Here, I have used Unity stamp -Dream Girl as my focal point and given it a bright pink background

here is a video....

   

Thank you so much for stopping by and keep trying and experimenting with new techniques!

The best is yet to be.....Unity blog hop

 Welcome Unity friends ....
.........to another fun blog hop!

There are lots of new releases today and of course new kits to kick start the new year ! I have chosen the January Kit of the month- Magic Beginnings for my card today.

 I stamped the image and watercolored the heart background. I did film it and have a video, but when I viewed it, I thought this design was way too simple to be needing a tutorial video! It's primarily a kind of negative painting where you paint shapes and I have done a video on that before. But if you are interested in seeing how this one came to life, let me know and I shall upload it.
