Happy February crafters! We have a new challenge at
Country View Challenge and Teresa chose "Splatters, Splashes and Drips" as the theme.
For my first inspiration piece I decided to use splatters to "paint" part of my picture.
I first stamped the
Olde Shoppe by Picture This using Sepia Versafine ink and using masking fluid [1] and newspaper carefully masked the building.
Using a watercolour brush and a silicone tipped tool I created splatters of varying sizes and colours.

I let dry this first layer and then splattered some masking fluid to preserve some lighter or even white "pebbles".
I added a final wash of colour, this time with a brush to fill in the ground. The picture now looks like this:
Time to paint the rest of the house in watercolour and remove the masking fluid:
For the sign I used a pen with a small nib loaded with watercolour.
For good measure, I splattered some colour across the picture.
I hope you enjoyed this technique, you can also use it for shingles and poppy fields etc..

I am entering the
SSS Wednesday,
Allsorts challenge.
[1] I am using Schmincke White liquid frisket. I have found it to be less prone to tearing the paper when removing and seems to keep in good condition in the bottle for longer.
