Freckled Dragon Fly

Dragon Fly no. 2
I think I may have wrecked this fella....silly me.

 As you can see by the top photo, he didn't always have these 'freckles'.
 I watched a video clip by +Dion Dior the other night on "painting watercolour rocks", I clearly wasn't paying enough attention...
 At the end of her very informative video, Dion explanes how to add a little more texture to the rocks, by "splattering" colour from a watercolour pencil...... again, i clearly wasn't paying attention.... LOL

I tried it....and ended up with "blobs".....then I realized she "flicked" the brush....by then I had already blobbed to much paint on..... but i did learn HOW not to do it.... and i learned I NEED to pay more ATTENTION!!!!....LOL
Well I wonder what Henny will think of this dragon fly?
For those who missed my other post, click here to explain Henny and the Dragon Fly.... :)

P.S. For those wanting a basic water colour how-to......rocks, flowers....same use of watercolour.
Pop on over and check out Dion's video clip


Well Blessings All,
Cynthia♥

    Cynthia, your dragonfly is divine, as is your splatter. Random texture like this s sometimes a little hard to get used to, but you've done a lovely job. Thank you also for the mention. Hugs sweet friend. xx

    Hi Cynthia,

    I think the watercolor "blobs" look fine! They do add texture. I enjoy doing that technique with watercolors and have never tried it with watercolor pencils.

    Bubble wrap gives great texture - as does tissue paper! tee hee.

    Hugs,
    Kay
