Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Libby Caldwell and Im here to tell you about watercolor journaling. So what I do when the trees are dry. I take the thin and black pen. The micron pen and I just go with the lines the edges that I have created and I loosely just put a little outline. And add little pieces in there to give the effect of the tree. Okay, and just a little bit on this side. These are just pieces off to this side I want the main focus to be Snoopy rock. So these are just like the borders like for the frame for the picture. Okay, and now this is dry enough. I can add some detail so Ill bring this closer. For pieces like this you can go in with the black pen and just pick up some edges. Add little bits of detail not the whole thing but just enough to make that fawn seem solid and then for the little spikes you can just put a few lines. I wouldn't do all of them I'd just do a few. There, about like that."
