How to paint fast & loose watercolor flowers with Distress Inks

How to paint fast & loose watercolor flowers, for people who don't paint!! Seriously, anyone can do this! With basic shapes and simple swishes of your brush you can create these fun and whimsical flowers in no time!  They are not perfect and the best part is.... they don't have to be!  I made another video for you! Please bare with me as I'm still learning this video tutorial stuff!

 

Here is a sneak peek of my video camera setup! I'm using the top of my Distress Ink pad spinner along with my gorilla tripod to wrap the legs around it to hold it on!  I really need to come up with a better plan.  Is there anyone out there with some tips for me?

Hope you enjoy!

Psalms 103 Bless the Lord, O my Soul - Bible Journaling with colored pencils

"Bless the Lord, O my Soul... oooh oh oh my soul, worship His Holy name.... Sing like never before.... oh my soul"  I've had this song stuck in my head for days so I thought I would put it down on paper and give it some color!!  I used a variety of colored pencils and doodled out some flowers!

Distress Ink Watercolor Fawn Video Tutorial

My first ever video tutorial!!  I wasn't brave enough to talk through it (yet) so I played some happy music and displayed tips on screen.  I painted a cute little fawn with a pretty pink background!  I wanted to keep it simple to see how it would go!! I admit, it was kinda fun!!

I'd like to ask your opinion on video editing software (for Windows 7). I used the free Windows Movie Maker software to make this video, but I feel like it was limited in it's features.  What's your favorite video software?  I'd like to do some investigating and find something new!
Hope you like it!

Bible Journaling - Free download - Genesis 1:24 - Living Creatures

Genesis 1:24 And God said, let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds.

I found this adorable photo of these two sibling foxes in a 2015 Audubon calender.  So full credit for photo goes to them and their photographer Daniel M. Jones.
So often, for Genesis 1, we see the world shape.  I wanted to focus on a different verse and when I read verse 24 I knew I wanted to draw some cute animals! =)

To start I traced the basic outline of the foxes and the main lines such as the eyes, nose, mouth.  All the fur outlines I drew afterwards.  For this project I started with a sheet of graphite paper and my drawing (you will be using the PDF I've made for you)  Turn to your bible page and place your graphite sheet face down and make sure it stays in place.  After you have cut your image out from your PDF file then use some washi tape to tape your image to the back of your graphite paper.

Then begin to trace your image.  I find that a ball point pen works best.  You can also use a different color pen to see where you have already drawn.

Here is my finished drawing.  You can also trace the verse words in the same way at this time if you wish.

Here are a couple of the colored pencils that I used.  2 browns and a gray/black.

I used the photo as my guide for color!

I usually like to start with the eyes!

Then filled in some darks.

Then started in on some earthy browns.

I used a fine pen to swish on some wiskers!

I used some white acrylic paint and a tiny paintbrush to add some highlights in places.

This is where I drew on the verse words.

Then I went over it with my drawing pens.

Colored in some letters and used a metallic pen on the word GOD.

Close up of these two cuties!
