On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Libby Caldwell, and I'm here to tell you about watercolor
journaling. So I'm gonna start with a larger rock, and, just get a very very rough outline.
Roughly where I want it to be on the skyline, and I want it to be a bit higher. This is
the, this is a very very rough-it doesn't have to be exact, because when you come to
paint it, then you can make adjustments, can make adjustments all the way along. Um, the
little rock I'm sketching here is called Snoopy Rock, and that's why I've chosen this position.
Okay, so I've got my rocks in here, and the greenery begins about there, I'm just gonna
roughly put that in. And roughly indicate a few lines. Now I have a tree here, but I'm
not going to do that yet. I want to paint the sky first. I have another tree here, and
I'm not going to indicate that yet. I'm just going to paint that, and then put lines in
afterwards. So, now I need to see where I want this little piece. Um, I'm gonna have
it at this corner, so I'm going to leave what I'm painting, an area in this corner for that
little piece, but I don't want to do more than about that, as far as pencil work goes.
Okay, so now I'm gonna use the black pen. This is a water soluble pen. And again, I'm
only going to touch the edges here and there, I"m not going to put much detail in. And this
is slightly more accurate than my sketch, but not, not too much. I"m just tracing the
edge of the mountains here. But I want to leave gaps, because the light is shining on
it, so I want to, make sure that I don't have a black edge all the way along. Now the only
other bit I'm going to put in now are pieces of the greenery. Just a few little marks.
Like that. And that's about it.
