Juicy Pears - Watercolor Card

It's time for a little bit of experimenting! What about combining rustic with modern and playing with some new stuff? The result was this framed still life card.

The VIDEO shows all the process of creating it:

  2. Wow, Olga, this is amazing! When I first saw the picture I thought you had created a knicknack shelf. I soon realized it was a card but then thought you had applied a liquid glaze to the pears but you had not. Oh how I love watching your videos because you always explain how and why you are doing everything. Those pears are gorgeous!!!

  3. Hi Olga! Thank you for the tutorial! I've never used these watercolors before - I immediately ordered! :). I have a question on the technique. So... the first few layers of the watercolor dry and look blotchy but then you add a coat of water once all colors are applied to blend?

    1. It really depends on a paper a lot. If it is to absorbent it won't let the color go. But sometimes you can re-lift some of the color. Also - if you don't want to disturb the previous layers just don't rub them with the brush too hard - use a softer brush and just drop in the colors. Hope this helps!
