How to Paint Blubells in Watercolour using a Splattering Technique

[Sandra Strait]

I haven’t had the time to try out the techniques in this tutorial by Ian Pethers yet, but I’m intrigued.  I find splattering a bit difficult, so this would be a good exercise.

nice post!

I thought the artist had a unique style.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any other tutorials that he’s done.

I’ve used masking to create flowers before.  It’s a great way to save your lights and create flowers.

I’ve used masking before, but not by splattering it this way.  I’m sparing with using it because of the hard edges, but this technique looks promising.

Thanks for posting this interesting tutorial! I’ve got mine drying…

[Sandra Strait]

I haven’t had the chance to try it yet.  That’s my problem-too many projects going at any one time, lol.  I’m looking forward to seeing yours.

I like the technique, and will use it again. I think I needed a larger splatter size, but it was a fun learning experience.

[Sandra Strait]

Getting splatter in the size, pattern and direction you want is definitely a technique with a long learning curve.  I don’t practice it enough, and that’s a shame.  You can do so much with it.

Wonderful tutorial. I love using spatter.

[Sandra Strait]

I need to do it more often.  My technique needs to improve!

I’m going to check it out. Thanks Sandra.

Going to try this 🙂  Thanks

[Sandra Strait]

I need to get busy and try it out myself, lol! A few other people at Doodlewash have done it and what they did was awesome!
