Do you want to learn to use watercolors, brush up your skills or are a wonderful painter? Personally, I think, watercolors are scary LOL.... Let's learn or practice together!

TUTORIAL: Mellis Moments

EasyToDrawChickens

MAILING NOTE: Originally, I wanted the postcard mailed naked to save on postage. But because they are watercolors, the postcard may be destroyed if it gets wet. Sender's choice, to mail naked, in a plastic sleeve, an envelope or sealed with Dorland's Wax.

Please attach your card to backing to mail. Think: cereal box or similar cardboard thickness.

Recap:

• Create one 4 x 6 watercolor postcard

• Follow the Chicken tutorial with subtitles

• Sender's choice: single or triple chickens (wording optional)

• Sign the back of your postcard and mail it

All skill levels encouraged

Newbies and international friends welcome!

TECHNIQUE TUTORIAL:

• This tutorial explains several watercolor techniques: https://youtu.be/znHdmPL48fc?si=0H6OddUtbIUWW0U6

DORLAND'S WAX (suggestion only)

• New product sold in a jar. Apply to your watercolor postcard, let cure for 48 hours and mail it away. Only purchase the small jar, a little goes a long way.

• Thanks Lisa for suggesting Dorland's Wax!

Extras not necessary. Please rate a 5 if you receive a watercolor postcard which meets swap requirements. As usual hearts are up to you.

I will angel if necessary.

Thanks for taking a look at this swap! Have a great day.
