So this is the potato printing one, or is it?
( I just HAD to treat myself to some new watercolours, aren't they pretty?)
I started out with good intentions, however, we had a little jaunt out to a very sunny and lovely park today and collected various leaves and conkers.
I tried to do a potato print based on an oak leaf and it all went a bit Pete Tong.
Instead I decided to use some of our leaves as stencils, this was a very messy but enjoyable process!!
I painted the leaves in acrylics in varying shades of blue.
When they had mostly dried, I used blue and orange watercolours to fill in some of the background - I did read your post about complementary colours Gina :)
Once I started I couldn't stop and ended up with 4 pages full !!
This is just a plain blue one I tried.
So not what it was supposed to be but still good fun !!

Your prints are great, Twiggy!
ReplyDeleteI got in a right mess carving my potato for the potato print and I got paint everywhere but it was great fun in the end.

These have turned out brilliantly. Love the colour. When I get home (on my hols at the mo) I am going to try and catch up with all of this and blue is likely to be my colour too.
