How to Paint Tigger in Watercolor and Colored Pencils

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4XSrfrRZiQ&t=1s

This video demonstrates the fun of mixing watercolor paints and colored pencils. I use a scan of an earlier sketch that I print out onto smooth Bristol paper. It is a quick and easy process to workout color schemes, techniques and to have fun in general. Here I use a well-known beloved character from my childhood as the subject matter.

I have been working with watercolors and various methods for line work, which led me to ask the question, what markers, pens and pencils are water soluble. So I put various ones in my arsenal to the test. I was surprised at what I found.

The Desktop Easel Arm is an extension arm that can mounted to the underside of almost any desk. When the arm is extended it can hold tablets, light boxes, drawing boards and more.  Here I show you the parts that make up the extension arm and discuss how to build on of your own.

Tinker Bell in Watercolor.


This is a simple sketch with a black Polychomo that I colored with watercolor.  I am a big fan of Disney and my youngest son loved the new Tinkerbell series of movies. This was a good example to combine a ink and wash feel using water proof pencils instead. The dimensions of this sketch is 7" x 7" on Strathmore 300 Bristol Smooth 100lbs.
