Hip-hippo-ray


(Apologies for the poor photography - it has been overcast here for days on end so it's been hard to get a good photo. I ended up just doing it and having to try and adjust the exposure etc.)

This card is one that I have been demonstrating at my recent workshops. I've used this card to show water colouring. I wanted to show people how easy it is to water colour, even when you're not much of an artist. The trick really is to use the proper water colour paper. If you use that, you just can't go wrong! If you're trying to colour on Whisper White there's not as much scope for fixing mistakes. Water colour paper allows you to even remove colour if you need to! It can cope with much more water than Whisper White and this means you can keep going back and adding on extra colour.
