How to make watercolour bookmarks - even if you can't paint - using modeling paste

Описание: Bookmarks are a great, low pressure way of practicing your watercolour techniques and if it all goes wrong, then you have only wasted a tiny piece of paper. If it all goes right, you have learnt a new technique and got a lovely book mark to use. So, be warned, they are rather addictive!!

In this video I use a stencil and some modeling paste, followed by watercolour. They are a simple but effective bookmark you can make even if you don't like painting.

I am using the Hahnemuhle bookmark pad for convenience and you can buy it here: https://amzn.to/3TPd1y3

The tassels I use are here: https://amzn.to/3XYwlvj

I aim to share a tip or technique every week - usually on Sunday at 2pm. I might throw in a few bonus films or shorts, so it’s worth hitting the notification bell to be alerted to the next one.

Every like and comment tells YouTube to show this to more people, so please jump in and share with your creative friends. If you really, really like this content and want to support me you can donate at Kofi. I have just set it up at: https://ko-fi.com/lizchadertonartist
