Mixed Media - two kinds of paint

There's a new Mix-Ability challenge up over at Splitcoaststampers! Jeanne's challenging us to use two kinds of paint on our projects.


I grabbed a great deal from Crafter's Companion a few months back when they had a holiday sale - they had several of their bundle deals for a further discount, and I fell in love with these Flower Fairies.


 They're fun to color, so I did a few (I'll share the others later), using Shinhan Premium Watercolors. I added deeper shading with Polychromos Pencils and highlights with a Montana Extra-Fine white acrylic marker. Love that thing.


I used Lumiere Acrylic Paints on the wings - even watered down, they have an amazing shimmer to them. I just got a few more colors and can't wait to play with them.

Hope you'll join us for the challenge this week!
Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I like the added depth that pencil gives after watercoloring or even using alcohol markers. This is a lovely piece of work.
