Hello Friends! How is your week going? I was so excited to have the time to finish this watercoloring I did earlier during the coloring challenge.
On this day I watercolored the background with distress ink and this day I watercolored the face and body. This is one of the things I love about the 30 day coloring challenge… no pressure to finish!
This is how she looked before I started the background. The girl stamp is called, “Charlotte” .
This heart stamp from Concord & 9th is so beautiful I thought it would work beautifully as a background and a design for the shirt.
The background was stamped with a red distress ink and the shirt was stamp with a black ink for watercolors. I used a few different red and pink distress ink to watercolor the flowers in the background. The shirt was watercolored with some purple distress ink.
I used the super fine 0.03 to add a line to add for the eye brows and eyelashes. Highlights were added to the shadow areas on the girl and her cheeks.
Trying to call it an early night so see you tomorrow. Thanks for your visit! Hugs, Kathy

Henriëtte says
Wow, what a great way to make a background and the design on her dress.
I learn still every time from you. I never thought of putting my background on
and then later on put stamping on top of it. That’s why you are the great artist
and I am the amateur. Thanks for this gorgeous end result.
