I pulled out some watercolor paints to work on the July postcard I needed to send for Camp Nerd Games this month. After doing the July card, I was still having fun, so I spent some time following a few tutorials by Andrea Nelson. This one was for some blueberries. I love how cheerful and encouraging she is as she guides you through things. I didn’t have any actual watercolor postcards in my stash, but my husband had some 6"x6" watercolor paper, so I went with that.
When I was done with her tutorial, I felt like my piece was still missing something, so I added some metallic gold details in a few of the empty berries, and to some of the leaves. I’m really pleased with how it came out after that addition.
Before I read what you wrote, I was looking at the art and thinking that the gold accents were my favorite part. I really love the technique-mash-up of it all, how some berries are filled and some are blank, some leaves are detailed and others plain.
