It’s been a few days since I have been able to play with my brushes and stamps and upload to my blog. I got home a little late tonight but I really wanted to try out the Sketch Challenge on SCS. The layout was fun and interesting and I took the opportunity to create a mini watercolor rooster scene.
I stamped the rooster on watercolor paper and one more on scrap watercolor paper to paint and cut out. I wanted to make the rooster stand out on the long image layer. I also created a reverse mask and placed over the paper to create a little border. I painted the rooster image and then drew the little wire fence in the background. I painted and stamped the grassy area and then started on the sky. I thought the rooster would stand out lots if there was lots of yellow in the sky along with a little blue. I watercolored in the sky with blue and lemonade and kept messing with it until it almost matched the olive paper. That wasn’t my plan but I really like how it turned out. I popped up the little cut out rooster and it seemed to make the whole scene pop more. I’m not usually one for lots of layers but I thought this was fun and I liked creating scalloped borders for the different layers.
