Description

In this course, you will learn how to watercolor on a fabric banner using watercolor brush pens and pan watercolors. You'll learn how to blend colors and use an aqua brush pen for blending.

I’ll teach you how to hand letter a design and how to add embellishments and doodles. We will first practice on a scrap piece of fabric as a tester.

I’ll show you how to use a light box to transfer your image and I’ll share some of my secret tips on creating your design using an erasable pen. Did you know you can use heat to erase an erasable pen? I’ll show you how in this course.

il also discuss other options for transferring a design.

You can make your own design or follow my templates. I'll share with you how to add a fun decorative trim.

Making themed banners for the seasons would be great to hang on the wall. A baby themed one would be cute in a nursery. These would make great decorations for a wedding shower.

I’ll share with you my favorite supplies and how you can get them too. This class is unique and fun. These would make great handmade thoughtful gifts.
