Flat Fall Bouquet | Procreate | Digital Art

~ Sathya ~ Leave a comment

 Hi All,

Happy October Guys!

I have done a Flat Fall Bouquet using @everytuesday Teela’s tutorial. As always her tutorials are informative and easy peasy for a beginner to follow along. No prior knowledge of Procreate is necessary as every tutorial takes you through a doable pace of learning. Must say, Absolutely enjoying her tutorials. 

I love to add a bit of Lettering with whatever brushes I have in Procreate plus the purchased ones.
Yes!! I started buying Procreate Watercolor brushes instead of Real ones!! 
@Freyas.art sale is going on, Purchased 144 Ultimate Watercolor Brushes set for 29 $, seems a good deal to learn variety of textures and usages.
Below is a Watercolor wreath and Lettering done in 2018.

I love the transition to Digital art using Procreate which I purchased in 2019 and got to use only now 🙂 

Hope you like it!!

Floral card : You Complete Me

~ Sathya ~ 11 Comments
Hi Hello Crafty peeps!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my blog visitors and crafty friends.

Whipped up a quick floral card using my favorite Noline coloring using Danielsmith watercolors Dotcard on Arches Cold pressed watercolor paper. First ever try using these combos and highly convinced by  the way the colors move.

Over to pics,

  • Stamped Altenew’s Dahlia blossom using Antique linen DI on Arches cold pressed watercolor paper.
  • Used Daniel smith watercolors of SSS Debby hughes  color palette for greens and Sharri carols palette for yellows and a tinge of orange for the shadows.
  • Took Strathmore Tan paper is used for the stenciled base using Altenew class stripes stencil and Prima Modeling paste.
  • Stenciled base is matted onto a white top fold cardbase.
  • Fussy cut florals are added on the stenciled base with different dimensions for interest and yellow enamel dots as finishing touch.
Hope you like it!
Colors are inspired from current Altenew’s monthly challenge

Handlettered quotes + Watercolor florals – Trio Series1

~ Sathya ~ 2 Comments

Hi Friends!

During my June end to August Vacation at India, squeezed a lot of ME time amidst of my Family business and office works, and practiced Handlettering and Watercoloring florals.

Must say, every day i look forward for the evening time, to let my soul speak.

My little one would accompany me by smooshing his paint palette on his drawing book 🙂

And most of all, my dad would sit and watch patiently how we both do!!

Gonna share 3 projects per post 🙂

Hope you all like it!!

Watercolor Florals and Brush Lettering!!

~ Sathya ~ 4 Comments
In the series of Watercoloring and Brush Lettering combo, i did two artworks in Canton Montval watercolor paper with Gansai Tambi watercolors and did some Lettering by Kuretake Fudebiyori Metallic brush pens.

Yay!!! I never craft during my vacation at India…But this time, i wanna practice these newly learnt art forms, whenever i have little free time.

Truly i could see differences in my watercolor painting and acquired a bit confidence in brush strokes, as i mostly work with coloring stamped images, within boundaries.
This truly let my soul set free…

Hope you like it!!

More to come….Stay Tuned 🙂

Watercolored Floral card

~ Sathya ~ 8 Comments
Hi Friends!!!

Am here today with another floral creation, a card this time. Watercoloring is my recent crush and added to it my calligraphic attempts 🙂 Am enjoying both equally 🙂

Today’s card is especially for the ongoing Altenew Challenge. The current inspiration challenge pic is such lovely and the beautiful colors made me to create this card.

My November Altenew win recently reached me…I have bought few stamps using the GC…One of which is this Oh-So-Beautiful….”Remember this” stamp set.

  • Gold heat embossed the florals and buds onto a watercolor paper and colored using my ever favorite Zig clean color brush pens and watercolored it.
  • Onto a pattern paper, stamped the smaller florals and colored with Faber castle polychromos with a lighter touch, so as to keep the beauty of the pp.
  • The pp is distressed at the edges using the scissors.
  • This pp has a beautiful printed script which faded on the middle and had florals on the corner.
  • The sentiment is such uplifting and i love to continue the same mood with the muted bg and 
  •  a focal using bright florals at a corner.
  • Fussy cut the watercolored florals and added using foam adhesives and few directly on the pp to create a dimension.
  • Stamped the sentiment from the same set and splattered black soot distress ink.
  • Added few clear droplets and matted this onto a A2 sized black top fold cardstock.

Hope you all like this card. Love to hear from you all!

Watercolored Roses

Hiya Friends!

How you all doing!

Days are lovely here as we enjoy super foggy mornings and chill weather at UAE.

2 months back i won Altenew FB giveaway and bought Bold and Blossom set, which reached my home few days back.

Yay!!! You got me right!

Watercolored those Roses using noline coloring technique, which am still in learning the nuances of it.

Have chosen colors from the January altenew Challenge

Am so in love with the colors here in the graphic.

  • To create my card, took a watercolor cardstock, stamped outline Roses and Leaves, from Bold and Blossom set using Masking technique with a 3rd generation stamping using Archival ink.
  • Colored using noline coloring technique with Zigclean color brush pens.
  • Then fussy cut and kept ready to mount on a stenciled base card.
  • Prima min art stones are sprinkled generously and to add bit more texture added a honeycomb chipboard and a cheesecloth, to which fussy cut florals are added.
  • Left it as Sentiment-less card for now 🙂     

Hope you like this card 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and soon to catch up with next project 🙂
