A Colorful Background For Your Journal Musings

03/25/2014

Is your Doodle Journal in need of a splash of color? This video demonstrates how to create a watercolor background on what looks like Moleskine watercolor paper. I’ve done the same technique in a Stillman & Birn Epsilon Sketchbook. The paper needs to be heavy enough to take watercolor well, but once dry will accept any fountain pen ink. Brush pens are great for this application as well.
