here are things you will need
paints any kind of water colour paints will do most basic brands will have the colours
you will need brush water colour paper mixing plate clean water tissue
ok stamp your image with versa fine ink and lets get mixing
you will need
the colours are yellow ochre and alziaron crimson
as you will see i use a white china mixing dish its best to mix on white you get a true colour
a white plate will do just as well look at the puddles of paint its not thick but you can still see the white showing through
so wash out your brush and mix the two colours together having the water on clean brush it will water down the strength of mix take a look at the left hand side you will see how pale this mix looks
so lets paint in this lovely image of the popcorn new stamps range
now bring into the mix more paint from the first puddles of colour this will strengthen the colour just go around the edges
if you get harsh lines on the edge just get some clean water on your brush and go all over the area leave to dry it should all settle down and blend its self
you must leave it to dry on every layer
Little Tip If the paper feels cold its still damp
if it feels like your body temperature its dry
you can speed up drying time with heat gun
now with tip of your brush pick up some Alizarin crimson from your first puddle add the blush to cheeks
wash out the brush wipe off water from brush on tissue and with damp brush go around the edge to soften the area around the cheeks
we need to make some SHADOW colour
this is cobolt blue alizarin crimson and burnt umber this is the darkest brown you will have
mix them all together you will get a mucky purple colour this is your shadow colour
Dont Panic this mix will go over any colour strange as it seems
IT WORKS....
once you have added your shadow around the edges
wash out your brush and pick up the very first flesh colour mix and go over all the area leave to dry
