This card doesn&#8217;t necessarily have a precise story to tell, but it is more an expressive story.<\/p>\n<p>I repeatedly stamped a feather across the page and then began a technique called negative space coloring. I added several brush loads of water onto the card and then began dropping in color on to the feathers. I started with yellows, then worked my way into greens, added a splash or two of reds (which turned into a lovely autumn shade of brown) and then after everything dried, added in blues.<\/p>\n<p>Once everything was dry I used a lifting technique of using a wet paintbrush to pick up pigment from the places I didn&#8217;t want it. Which in this case was the center area of the feathers. I liked how some of the feather is defined and other areas are losely covered with pigment. Very cool.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what exact story this image tells but It defintely sends positive vibes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1862 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/FeatherLeaves2.jpg\" alt=\"FeatherLeaves2\" width=\"858\" height=\"570\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I added in a fun sentiment and called it finished on this card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all, Today&#8217;s card features a technique of watercolor that uses stamped images to create a scene.
