Heres part 2 on watercolour backgrounds, this time I use ordinary water based pens and markers to create the washes with. You can use any brand of pen so long as it isnt permanent, as you can see from the photograph I used different brands all together to make these backgrounds with ranging from: crayola, marvy, adirondack pens, embossing pens and le plumes. Choose nice bright colours for this technique as they will be watered down with the water, so the stronger the colours – the more vibrant the end result.
See the step by step photos below for more details on how to make these backgrounds (click on the pictures if you require more detail)
Tip: You can vary the intensity of the backgrounds by using less or more water over the marker pen scribbles, experiment and see!
