Thickening the Outline in a Watercolor Journal

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Libby Caldwell and I m here to tell you about watercolor journaling. Okay, now I m going to use the black pen again. Now that this paint is dry and I m now going to put in a more precise outline of the mountain. Like that and then I m going to just make it a bit heavier in certain places. So that I can come in with this water brush and just pick up some of that black and add some shadow. Now if you want more shadow than that you can use one of the black watercolor pencils. Pick up some of the black there and drop that in. Okay, so I m looking at my mountains here and I just carry on with the outline here. But it doesn?t have to be exact. As this is for me and just me. These are my memories that I m journaling. So I can change things change the color, change, leave things out. It s not like taking a photograph where you, everybody would have exactly the same picture if they took a photograph of this. When you re journaling it gives you more options and you can make it really personal."
