Description:

Do you want to learn to use watercolors, or brush up your skills or are you a wonderful painter? Personally, I think, watercolors are scary LOL.... Let's learn or practice together!

Join me:

  • Create one 4 x 6 postcard

  • Monthly design: Easy Stamped Watercolor Card (we're making a postcard)

  • Write a note to your partner

  • Mail it to your partner

  • Sender's choice: color selection

  • Sender's choice for stamped image, think something fun that makes you smile and will make your partner happy

  • Watch the tutorial, decide which stamp and colors to include.

MAILING NOTE: Originally, I wanted the postcard mailed naked to save on postage. But because they are watercolors, the postcard may be destroyed if it gets wet. Sender's choice, to mail naked, in a plastic sleeve or an envelope. See note below: Dorland's Wax.

Please attach your card to backing to mail. Think: cereal box or similar cardboard thickness.

Recap:

  • Sender's choice for which image and colors to include

  • Create one 4 x 6 watercolor postcard

  • For this postcard, include a general hello greeting

  • Sign the back of your postcard

  • Send on time

All skill levels encouraged

Newbies and international friends welcome!

TECHNIQUE TUTORIAL:

  • This tutorial explains several watercolor techniques: https://youtu.be/znHdmPL48fc?si=0H6OddUtbIUWW0U6

DORLAND'S WAX

  • New product sold in a jar. Apply to your watercolor postcard, let cure for 48 hours and mail it away. I tried it on my last postcard, it sealed nicely. Only purchase the small jar, a little goes a long way.

  • This product is only a suggestion.

  • Thanks Lisa for suggesting Dorland's Wax!

Extras not necessary. Please rate a 5 if you receive a watercolor postcard which meets swap requirements. As usual hearts are up to you.

I will angel if necessary.

Thanks for taking a look at this swap! Have a great day.

Hi! Love the possibilities and the encouragement!

Quick question, I use 6x4 watercolor pads to paint or cut down a larger sheet to the proper size. Are these ok to use or do you require the watercolor pads that have preprinted post card lines on the back?
