Legion Paper on Instagram: "@shealeenlouise trying out our new Stonehenge Aqua Black panel!  Shealeen’s tips for painting with watercolor on black paper:   1: “You need to use opaque watercolors for it to work. Transparent paints won’t work by themselves on this one. The two opaque colors I always has on my palette are Cadmium red and Naples yellow. They both work perfectly on this. BUT my work around to using *all* my watercolors is to start with white gouache (an opaque type of watercolor), then mix it with whatever color I want to use.”   2. “Alternatively, you can do a layer of white gouache on your paper, and then put transparent watercolors right on top of it!! (Which is what I was doing a lot of in this painting!)”   Learn more about our panels: legionpaper.com/panels   #WeArePaper Watercolour Painting On Black Paper, Watercolor On Black Paper Tutorial, Metallic Watercolor On Black Paper, Watercolor Black Paper, Gouache On Black Paper, Watercolor On Black Paper, Black Watercolor Paper, Naples Yellow, Tips For Painting

Since I pulled out my papers to make some Father's Day cards, I thought I'd do some painting on cards. I've been doing quite a bit of painting on canvas lately which I'll show you in another post. However, these cards were painted in the last week. I've really been enjoying this process, more than I realized I would. They're so much fun to do! This one I did last night. I wasn't sure if the paint would seep through, but the cardstock is nice and hefty. This next one I made for my daughter in…

I received the new Halloween 2021 set of watercolors from IUILE last week–what gorgeous colors! I wanted to try them out on black watercolor paper, and ended up painting some leaves. I loved how it looked so much, that I stamped a greeting and white heat embossed it, and adhered it to a card base.

Bree Copley on Instagram: "Here is how to make your watercolor show up on black paper. I added the list of supplies below ⬇️ so make sure you save this and share! 

Regular watercolors are often too translucent to show up on black watercolor paper. But you don’t always have to use glittery watercolor, or metallics .  One simple trick that I do is simply add white watercolor to my colors. 

This makes the colors more opaque and turns them chalky similar to acrylic or Gouache. In this video, I used watercolor pencils, and although these watercolor pencils are 5 times  more concentrated than most any watercolors will work.
