Watercolour Effects?

Hi Guys

How do you get a watercolour affect - bit like a Monet garden scene?

Do you have any examples?? seen it done before?

There could be a million ways

No examples, but to describe it further - splodgy flowers, watery, no definitive lines....

Hope that helps!!

Enamel coated stringer for the flowers looks lovely over a fritty background

literally works of art

Izzy - those are gorgeous - but you might also want to sell a hi-res version of that picture to an image gallery - I could see those designs and colours used in loads of different places. Imagine ceramic tiles in this design?!

You have a very good point there Sal. They are first class. In fact it probably makes sense to take them down off this site before somebody unscrupulous lifts the image and uses it for their own gain. They really are very good Izzy. There is no end of things that could be made using those designs; but I really fancy the ceramic tiles.

Those are gooorgeous!!

Wow! Thank you all for saying such lovely things. It had never occurred to me that I could do things like that with the image - or that anyone would nick it - thanks Sal, you're a star! Cheers, Roy, for the heads-up - I hope it's low enough res to be useless, - I hope!
