Make Your Own Beginner Watercolor Card
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- By request today we will be making a beginner watercolor card. You will need some watercolor's, a green, a blue, and a flower color. I used pink. A pice of watercolor paper about 6.5"x7.5", and a 9"x12" sheet of hot press paper. You can use card stock or whatever you have for the card. Oh, and don't forget your watercolor brushes! Then a sentiment stamp, or you can do your own writing. Let's get started!

I love this! Simple with beautiful results
I Love ripping the sides of my cards, it makes them so much more Vintage and Breathtaking Beautiful 😊🥰❤❣ Love your card. I'm 62 and have been painting g since I was 7years old and still Love it. Thanks for Sharing 🥰❤😊❣
Thanks!
I’m looking forward to making cards for my family. A great way to share.
Beautiful
This is the BEST beginner watercolour card video on TH-cam! I painted this 2 times about a two years ago and it turned out slightly different each time, it's super for beginners but actually looks stunning! I accidentally stumbled back to this video and wanted to thank you ! I love when art can be so simple, it's often so frustrating to me but this was so easy to follow and fun but most importantly it turned out so incredible!! THANK UUU
Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment on it. I appreciate it. 🤗
You’re so adorable. And I love the stamped sentiment!!! 🥰💕😊 📖
Thank you.
This card is fantastic. I must try it I'm a beginner and it's just the look I love for a card.Thank You
So pretty
Thank you.
Thanks, Sharon! I really enjoyed your video. I think I can create something that I'll be able to share with my family and friends. Thanks for your inspiration.
Great enjoy!
I loved the one you made in the video! Thank you for doing these beginner videos! I’m wanting to learn watercolors and also want to make cards, so this is perfect for me! I hope you do a whole series like this! Thank you!
I have lot of greeting card videos. Check my playlists. There’s a holiday one and greeting card one.
I’ve never done watercolor painting before but have done many rubber stamping cards. I love the simplicity of this card and as for the specs in the sky, it just looks like you may have had a windy day and those are little leaves and flower petals floating up towards heaven. Thank you Sharon for sharing this. And by the way I love your name. 🌹🌹
thank yo very much.
That was so nice. I've just starting painting at the age of 65. I enjoyed your session thanks.
Great. We are never too old to start. In fact a lot of seniors take it up later in life when life isn’t getting in the way as much! I think i was about 51 when i started.
I’m 73 and just started painting. Loved this!
Oh my goodness it was WONDERFUL reading you're 65 and just started to paint. I'm 65 and a half and I have all of the supplies needed watercolor, oil and acrylic I watch all the videos on TH-cam and I have yet to pick up a brush. Plus my life's been shortened with cancer and I still can't pick up a brush. I'm just going to keep watching
B E Oh no! That is he saddest thing I have ever read! It sounds like you want to paint or you wouldn’t have bought all these supplies. What is holding you back? Why not just slap some paint on paper and have fun if nothing else? You could easily perform this beginner card. Just get a small piece of paper and go for it. Then try it again. Maybe use some different colors. I don’t understand why you just want to watch. I would think that since you have had cancer you would want to try those things you didn’t before. Most of my patients felt this way. You say your life has been shortened? Are you stage 4 and there is no treatment? All the more reason to try things you have wanted to try. If your reason is you just don’t have the strength I could understand that. But when reading your statement you are saying contradictory things which leads me to believe you want to do it or you wouldn’t have mentioned that you have yet to pick up a brush.
I don’t know if I will wake up tomorrow or get another chance to paint. But if I do you’re darn straight I am going to pick up a brush and give it a go.
Go for it!
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! I make my own cards and try and add a watercolor painting into my card. I have been racking my brain for a thank you card for some friends and this got my interest. I got a bit messy in my splattering and ended up putting matching splatters all over my card. The funny part was when I showed my husband my finished card and he asked if I was going to trim off the edges that were ragged. I explained to him that it's a deckled edge and is suppose to look like that. Even after 50 years of marriage, I can still teach him something new. Love your channel!
I check TH-cam everyday looking for your posts. I'm making my own Christmas cards again this year, but this time I'm doing a variety. Last year I did one painting and had it printed off at Staples. It turned out ok, but this year I want originals and more than one design. I need to start really working on them this week-end.

@@gloriaeike4973 I paint my Christmas Cards also with of course Watercolor Paints and I start in July even with some Christmas Music 🥰😊❣ It puts me in the mood.
Wow it's so pretty 🤩❤️👍
This is beautiful!
I LOVED THIS. Simple is what so many people are looking for (like me). I like simple for learning. This was great! (I don't use stamps, but this was a great video.)
Thank you, Sharon.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You could easily do some hand lettering as well. No need for stamps or even a sentiment of any sort. Usually I like to keep my paintings without writing anyway because if someone wants to frame it then there isn’t writing on their front.
I am so impressed with how it turned out. I am a beginner and will definitely be having a go.
Very pretty. Can’t wait to see more, I really like your tone of voice, very clear on directions,enjoyed watching your painting and making cards, I’d love to learn. I do acrylic painting, always been afraid to try watercolor , but always have watched,so I’m going to try , I noticed the beautiful paintings at the end and they are very nice, so I’ll be watching for your videos.😊👍👍👍
Thank you Jan. I did watercolor for a year or two and then tried acrylic. I only liked it for about a year and went back to watercolor. I am a watercolorist through and through. I do like gouache though. I do some oil painting and pastel. But this is my true art love. Yes give it a try and remember light to dark colors and many mistakes can be fixed. Some colors stain some lift off the paper very easily. You will get there. Just don’t give up if you get frustrated. It is very different.
Lovely card and sentiment. Indeed: with God nothing is impossible. Matt 19:26 Amen 😊👍🏻
I'm really late in watching this video. I know zippo about watercolor and want to learn some basics for simple craft projects. This is exactly what I am looking for. Great instructions. Easy to follow. Thank you. Looking forward to finding more from you.
I'm glad it is helpful. I will have to go through videos and make Playlists of beginner tutorials
Just what I was hoping to find!!
Thank you!!
Loved this! I'm going to try it tomorrow!!
Awesome video!
I had been scouring the TH-cam for a simple watercolour idea for a artist trading cards that I could write Bible quotes on. When I saw what you were writing on the card I knew this video was for me. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏 ❤️
I’m glad you found it. God bless you and I hope your ATCs make a difference in someones life.
@@SharonCullenArt So do I. It's a beautiful design that even works well on the smaller size!😊
Very beautiful..loved this video..would like to try it for sure👌
Thank you so much! i am a beginner water color art student!! I am the teacher!! Just what i needed!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very pretty! Thank you.
Ty I loved your card
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful tutorial. Looks easy and doable for a beginner. Also pleased you stated you used double-sided tape for the adhesive.
Great! Enjoy. I just put out a new beginner card tutorial. Spring cards. Three different types.
Thank you for doing something every beginner can do! Know i can and it will be beautiful!!
You’re welcome!😊
I've never watercolored before, but will try this design! Awesome video, easy to follow. Thank you Sharon for my first lesson!
You’re welcome. Enjoy!
Beautiful cards will be trying them .,tomorrow tfs
Thank you for very much for this simple, watercolor card idea. Great instruction
Thanks!
@@SharonCullenArt I am a beginner so I appreciate all the detail in your introduction. I was easily able to make a few cards for family. Look forward to seeing more
I’m going to try this - looks easy for me, a beginner.
Great go for it. I just put up some holiday card videos that are easy also.
I enjoyed the card video. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you
Love the simplicity! The splatters in the sky look like butterflies! 😊🦋
Ha! I love the way you think!
This is amazing. I’m excited to give this project a try! You’re wonderful.
Wow!! So very pretty !! Love the sentiment as well! I have some Maymay Made It and Stamps of Life scripture stamps! Thanks so much!!
Amen. Very nice card.
Thank you.
I love this card. I have to try to make it. Thank you!
Thank you for creating and posting this wonderful beginner's tutorial! You have inspired me, I look forward to learning more watercolor techniques through your tutorials!
Thank you Susan. There are plenty there. More recently they are more advanced than this one, but There is a lot you can do with basic technique. Just play around with it.
@@SharonCullenArt I am not a total beginner however I have not painted with watercolor in awhile so it will be fun to get back into it again. I love your card ideas. Thank you again
Thanks for this tutorial! You're the best.
I'd absolutely love to see another one like this, perhaps a moon theme? I love how easy you make it look, you're a real pro
Really cool! Love the simplicity of it, but it was professional in the end. Those cards go for $5 in stores.....I love paper, got loads of stationary and paints, too. Also, instead of tearing the edges, which I love that look, I've also taken my paper outside with a lighter and lightly burn the edges little by little and blowing out the fire as I go around the paper. Puts an 'old world' look to your project. Thanks for showing your technique - I enjoyed watching. I did subscribe, will wait for more. Thank you ♡
Thanks so much.
Really liked your video, thanks.
Besides the painting that looks so lovely, I do admire the stamp you've got there, too! Also, your explanation is very clear as well. You got my subscribe!
Lovely card, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing great and simple idea.
Yahoo! Finally I’ve found a left handed artist 👩🏻🎨
You have a new left handed subscriber now ☺️👍🏼
WOOHOO! Lefties unite!
It's not something that I've seen very often. It really is nice. Yeah!
Great video. I am a beginner in watercolors and you made it look so easy.
Love it!!
I stumbled on your video...what a great card with a sentiment that is so appropriate for today! Thank you!
Rhank you.
The “milking” the pigment out of your brush is an amazing tip. I have some brushes like the silver black velvet that really hug onto the pigment and I always hate losing expensive pigment to the water.
Yeah, when I’m trying to build it on the palette milking it helps. But some worry about pigment on the fingers.
Hi Sharon, I just was look around and came a cross this video you did in 2016 of a easy beginner watercolor card, So I tried it and got success by the time I did the second that I was happy with. You always do a beautiful Job, Thanks.
Thank you Gerry. I'm glad it was helpful for you
Thank you so much for your beginner video! I am truly a beginner! I've wanted to do this for years (I do oil paint,) and never had the nerve to start! You have made it look so easy, that I'm no longer afraid to attempt my first one! My oldest daughter is almost bed-fast and wants to learn to do this as well. We are really going to have a ball following you! Again, thank you so much!
i’m glad you liked it. im sorry to hear this about your daughter. it can be a fun activity to do together. I live with chronic pain, and I have painted in bed before. Not my best but I had fun.
@@SharonCullenArt The lady who first taught me to oil paint, was an invalid and told me that if I became bed-fast someday, I'd be able to paint in bed, too. She passed away about a year ago and everything she taught me has been invaluable! Thank you for your reply: I know you have MANY "students!" All of us love what you do, from the replies I've seen and appreciate you very much: especially now with the lock-down! Bless you!
Lovely card!! I love it! Thank you for showing us how to do that!!
you’re welcome!
Thank you for sharing. I always wanted to experiment with watercolor. I'm gonna try it!
go for it. And have fun.
Thank you without end! I am fully inspired by your video. I will make some beautiful cards with my daughter.
