Minimal color watercolor birthday card.

August 7, 2019 - by Gaylynn

Minimal color watercolor birthday card.

Hello.  It’s Gaylynn here with another installment of my Watercolor Wednesday series.
Today, I am sharing a way to get the look of minimal color watercolor.

For this card, I used watercolor markers with stamping to show minimal color watercolor.  I also share two ways to apply watercolor using this technique.

Sentiment:  Happy birthday.

Here are tips for this minimal color watercolor technique.  To begin, I used a large stamp scene with a mixed media look to it.  For watercolor, I added very little color to the folds and creases in the stamp.  Then, I used water based Zig watercolor markers and then blended out the color with water only.  With just a few dots and lines, the color softens with water and a brush.  Finally, I also used a palette to blend color before adding it to the stamping.  This technique provides an elegant look to card making.

 Here is another look.

As a bonus, I made a video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

To view my other watercolor projects on the Unity blog, see Watercolor Wednesday.

Tune in next Wednesday with a new project for Unity’s Watercolor Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting.  Have a wonderful day.
