Acrylic watercolor weekend

Painting has been there from young age. But with the time that has passed and I have become addictive to this hobby.  It is more of my livelihood. 

Watercolor has a very fine texture, combination of acrylic, ink, poster color, chalk paint gives a resist pattern of the Canvas.

Today I took some time out and I got my color kit, brushes and sat down to paint.
On a watercolor paper it is easier to do the shade part and the gradient background. Acrylic technique can  be done by layering the brush with enough color and also with more water and less paint.

After a half an hour break, I got my Greeting card sample and I did some petals on top of the heart like shapes which are stuck onto the card. It was looking beautiful and styled card.

I was with class session on Watercolors.  Now, as the Acrylic color was left I thought why not I paint for some more time. I took out my Coloring book and picked up a page that would suit the best. 
Acrylic watercolor technique has always been the most interesting one. One reason because we can give a 3d effect to whatever ordinary image to something formal.

This a floral design with the Microtip pen. I had a little break during my work in the evening. I said to myself why not paint some more. And that is what I got to show.  You can name it as a casual design Greeting card.

Thank you for visiting and viewing my ipage blog. Next is more on textures of watercolor magic. I shall see you then.

Cheers,

Baseline grid

Here’s a draft document explaining baseline grid design, including an example. Understanding Baseline Grid Design.. What is a Baseline Grid? A baseline grid is an invisible set of horizontal lines that helps designers align text and other elements consistently across a page or screen. Think of it as the “invisible lined paper” for your design, ensuring that every line of text sits on the same horizontal plane, creating a harmonious and organized look. Why Use a Baseline Grid?
