About a week or so ago I stumbled upon an adorable digi-image titled Easter Art by A Day for Daisies. This little bunny is the sweetest, high on the ladder painting her rather large egg. So cute.
Instead of using traditional paints to watercolor, I used Various Ink (refills for Copic markers) and Colorless Blender Solution.
Simply drop each ink, as well as Blending Solution, into the wells of a paint palette. Dip brush into Blending Solution then ink, then add to your image.
Note: The Colorless Blender will lighten the ink so choose shades a bit darker than the anticipated results.
To add depth, additional ink may be applied once the initial application is dry.
Copic markers may be scribbled onto a palette or acrylic sheet then picked up with the dampened brush, but I find it much easier to use Various ink so that a larger amount of ink is ready at all times. This is especially helpful in coloring large areas.
To add a bit more interest to the background, I dipped the end of a q-tip into Blender Solution then dotted over the background. The Blender Solution lightens or “pushes” the color aside to create the lighter areas.

I just love her. ♥
Thanks so much for visiting today!
