Description:

For my first swap, I wanted to pick something that is near and dear to my heart..... Watercolor. I tell my students that the saying goes : watercolor takes five minutes to learn and a lifetime to master!

This swap is to create one handmade watercolor postcard featuring leaves. Watercolor is the media and leaves are the theme.

If you receive a hand painted postcard featuring leaves, please rate a five. I want to encourage people to try this amazing, but complex media. If you don't have "watercolors", do what I do and use acrylics you water down! So simple and you can use materials you already have. Use a blank PC or cut down a sheet of heavyweight paper. Cardstock works, I'm just going to cut down a piece of watercolor paper.

Again, this is a swap to share my love of watercolor, not a swap to expect professional level work, if you get a hand painted leaf PC, rate a five. Have fun, do your best, learn something new.

I'm making this a group only swap, so I don't expect problems but please no recent ones or threes and you need to have completed 15 type three swaps to sign up.

Even if you don't have Watercolours you can use ink from an ink pad (smear it on an acrylic block or old CD, dilute with water and pick up with brush), reinker a for dye ink pads or get a cheap Watercolour pan set from Michaels for under $10!

YES! I never use actual watercolors...... just watercolor techniques. It gives you a greater color range and means no extra cost outlay. I also love watercolor pencils as well. :)

Love those watercolor pencils, such control for doing details too.
