I sketched out the layout...the lettering and the flower...in pencil first then I inked it all with my trusty Sharpie pen. When I was sure that the ink was dry I erased all pencil lines. Now for the fun! Using my Tombow markers I "loosely" applied color. Then I took my waterbrush and "moved" that ink around, filling in and softening lines. I love having the control of a marker, yet the look of watercolor. I decided I needed just a little something else so I put a blue marker in the Tim Holtz Spritzer and spritzed here and there. (It is a little hard to see this in this picture.) Finally, using a Kuretake waterbrush filled with sumi ink, I brushed ART. I absolutely love how very rich and bold that black-black-black sumi ink is...I definitely want to "play" with it in more projects.
Have a great day! And go ahead...create something, make your soul visible! :)
