Now that I have more time on my hands time to experiment with Mr. Holbein I decided to play around with my holbein watercolor and spare watercolor paper. You have to understand I am no expert in using paint and find the medium very finicky. But lately it seems like the two of us are agreeing more. For my first try, I decided to decorate my name. Just a simple art attack project since there are only 6 letters. So this is where I had my Macgyver moment. I didn't want to waste paper printing "isabel" in a serif font just so i could trace it out on the watercolor paper. Instead I busted out my iPad and using Pages wrote down my name in the biggest size available. After which I screen captured the page and placed the screen contrast on the brightest setting. Tadah a very resourceful lightbox and totally environmentally friendly. Here is the finished product: Since I needed to practice my "flower" technique that was what I used as decoration for this piece. I also went ombre with the blue slowly graduating from my royal to navy blue. As a final touch I busted out my Pilot Petite brush pen and calligraphed my last name. What do you think? :) Of course I didn't stop there since I was on a roll. Coupled to this was the overwhelming comments, likes and support I was getting on FB and IG. So I decided to do a few more pieces based on request. These are what I ended up with. Maybe, with the huge success these are getting on IG and FB I can begin taking on commissioned work. haha Maybe, just maybe.
