Birch Tree

Birch Trees

This Project is one of my personal favorites, 

Supplies:

Canvas

Splash Inks

Traditional Chines Ink - Ultra Black 

Golden Titan Buff

Directions:

1)   Paint Canvas with Blue Splash Ink - I watered down a drop of Blue Splash inks and wash it over my canvas.  

2)  I hand drew three birch trees, fill them with Titan Buff paint, when that was dry I out line with a very small paint brush and Traditional Chinese Ink.  Also adding the line for the trees bark.  

3)  using the Blue Splash Ink I darkend around the edges to add some demention.  

4)  I wrote out the quote with the Traditional Chinese Ink and a small paint brush.

I made this Canvas for a friend house, she has a Cabin on Palomar Mountain on Birch Hill Road, and she has been asking me to paint her a canvas for her bathroom in the city.  I know she love her little mountain cabin on Birch Hill, so this is what I made for her.

Got my eye on you

I had a blast making this project, I was challenged to make a project that will inspire you to use Splash Inks. I felt that this project would be artful and simple at the same time.

EYE ON SPLASH INKS

Supply List:

Watercolor Brushes

Watercolor Paper

Perma Writer's 

Splash Inks

Pencil

Water bottle

1. I started by drawing out my eye with a pencil, when I had the basic done I started to darken each line with my Perma Writer's.

2.   I used my Watercolor Brushes and Splash Inks to color in my image.  I used a lot of water in some areas so that the Splash Ink color would run and create interest.  When I finished with my Splash Inks I outlined some of the area with my Perma Writer to add depth to the Art.
3.  Frame
