:heart: I taught myself to use my water colour markers (Tombows)

So I have had these markers for 4 or 5 years.
I always just coloured straight onto the paper, like with ordinary kids markers.
well tonight i was using my watercolour pencils and remembered that once about 5 years ago i saw someone scribble their marker onto a bit of plastic then pick up the colour with a water brush and use it to colour in!!!
WOW - Where was that hiding in my tiny brain- I love it!
I know that this is not really news to most of you- but maybe there is one person here who will learn something new from this!

This has been a real revelation to me:yay: . Before I came to the Stamp Shack I very rarely (if ever) coloured anything in- you lot have converted me by sending me images I can't resist.

That is one of my very favorite coloring techniques. :) Glad you like it.

Good for you! That is also one of my favorite coloring techniques only I like using a blender pen instead of a water brush because I seem to always make a mess with the water.

I DID know about this, but had forgotten about it. I do have a blender pen, and will try to remember to use this technique!
Thanks for the reminder!
