VIDEO: The Great Apple Still Life Disaster

If you do not believe watercolor is a forgiving medium, then you're going to need to buckle up for today's video, because I am going to rock your world through my sheer, bumbling incompetence!

I wanted to do a sort of classic still life with this beautiful apple, because I thought it would be a nice composition for fall. 

And then all hell broke loose! But the lesson here, is everything turned out just ducky, so don't be too scared going into the video. But be a little scared.

This was done on a 5x7 piece of watercolor paper, and for once, I think I'll frame this and send it to a friend instead of turning it into a card. I just think the colors would look nice in a frame.

I set up the apple slice in my MISTI and stamped it in no-line ink on 5x7 watercolor paper. Then I stamped it again on masking paper and masked it. I stamped the central apple over that, and masked that, and finally stamped the rightmost apple. Then I removed the masks and got to work with my Daniel Smith watercolor - colors listed in video. FYI if you don't want to mask - you could stamp the apples in no-line ink and then die cut them and just arrange them on your paper. 

Here's the video - dramatic disaster and all:
