It’s How-to Tuesday! Here are 12 easy DIY Watercolor Techniques to create interesting textures for art journals and other projects, too! These all involve things you probably already have around the house! Have fun experimenting and enjoy!
I ♥ comic books, web design, video games, road trips, thrift stores and old books.
I make unique Art Journals featuring repurposed and rescued vintage book covers. Each journal is bound by hand and completely one-of-a-kind. Inside every Art Journal you’ll discover an inspiring mixture of colors, textures and patterns that coordinate with the cover: 100 hand-cut pages of vintage and modern paper, authentic vintage book pages and other ephemera.

reblogging this from my other blog cause it made me laugh a lot
Manfully resisting the compelling urge to buy this wicked cute “Onomatopattern” cardigan from Threadless. Comic book SFX!!
This cardigan is such a classy incarnation of the bold comic onomatopoeia attire that’s usually featured here. This would be perfect for adding a subtle touch of Batman ‘66 charm into your daytime wardrobe.
A close-up of the print:
Look at this tree, man.
The Angel Oak Tree is estimated to be in excess of 1500 years old, stands 66.5 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and produces shade that covers 17,200 square feet (1,600 m2). From tip to tip Its longest branch distance is 187 ft.
Ancient being.
This made me want to watercolor tonight. So I’m going to. And I’m excited.
Love this! I can’t wait to open up my brand new watercolors and try these techniques. Itching to journal, but finals first!
Hi Corey,
I just now found your website/blog and LOVE it! Wish you lived closer cause it sounds like we have a lot in common! Keep up the great work, you are inspirational! Peace my friend :) Leslie
My retirement is approaching and watercolor is something I hope to learn when I have more free time. You blog is full of such fun ideas. I’m sure it will help me as I dig into this new (to me) form of art.
Thanks a bunch!
Wow, love your illustrations and this guide – so cute and fun!
