Watercolor Journal Day 158

Great fun with loose background and controlled snowflake, what a great combination. Thank you for the fun.

This is a great idea! Snowflakes are always differ not and I can imagine endless variations. I appreciate you writing the colours on the side. I am also a Lamy pen enthusiast and it is excellent for sketching. I use Rohrer & Klingner "Sketch and Ink" in Sepia, which is waterproof but formulated for fountain pens. I ❤ your finished snowflake. Thanks!

Perfect tutorial for the day, Shana! I painted 6 different versions on watercolor postcards. Used watercolor for background and watercolor brush markers for snowflakes. So fun! Thank you for the inspiration 🙂🎨

It's lovely!

[@amandaluker9268]

You can put platinum carbon ink in that Lamy and it will be waterproof

[@lindawiedemann5014]

Lovely! Snowflakes are so therapeutic😊

[@germainwdesjardins6573]

How inspiring, a snowflake and it is just beautiful. Thank you

[@DawnRoberts-e4s]

Thank-you for introducing me to Qor..they are so beautiful..I definitely know what I want for Christmas 🎄 and any holiday lol..

[@daniellerodda5111]

Thanks for the lovely tutorial. It helped get me out of a funk today. On another note- I noticed you kept the cardboard ring on your Lamy. It is typically removed once you pierce the cartridge (or fill the converter with ink). It acts as a safety so the cartridge doesn’t inadvertently get pierced during transport. I was confused when I got my first Lamy. If you like it- you do you. ☺️

[@shanacirce2667]

Haha. Oops. When I switched out the black cartridge for the boy I never popped off the ring. The pen worked fine and I didn’t even think about it. Thanks for the heads up. 🤪

[@DawnRoberts-e4s]

This is beautiful thank-you Shania..I really hope you and yours had a fantastic Thanksgiving ❤️..I've almost been painting for a whole year..Thank-you for starting me on this journey...

[@shanacirce2667]

That’s so wonderful to hear. I’m so glad you are loving watercolor. ❤️❤️ here’s to another year!

[@allerleivonanisai]

Beautiful 😍! Definitely something I want to try ❤

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

Happy thanksgiving Shana. Love the snowflake ❤ I bought a Lamy pen a few months ago and love it! I bought the converter and Platinum black ink as that is waterproof! And I agree it’s so nice to write with but also Lovely to sketch with too.

[@shanacirce2667]

I’ll have to look into the converter and platinum ink. Thanks for the tip!

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

@ if you were in Australia I’d happily share my ink with you. I don’t think I’ll ever use the whole bottle!!

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

@ oh I forgot it’s called platinum Carbon ink.

[@allerleivonanisai]

I love my Lamy foundation pen. So great to see you using one ❤

[@sharonkrochmal9474]

Put waterproof ink in the pen which is perfect for drawing
