D.I.Y Korédé Black

People have been commenting on the fact they wish that

they could paint. Here is a little start! I scanned in my sketch and all you have to do is paint it and make it your own. Fun!
Hopefully this may also inspire you to create one of your own artwork.
Enjoy!

You will need:
1 Card stock paper
1 Watercolour paint set
1 Thin paint brush
1 Thick paint brush
1 Container full of water
1 Paint Palette
1 Black ink pen
1 White colour pencil
1 Intuition (paint how you feel)

Tips: Have the image in front of you as a reference and have a spare piece of scrap paper to test thickness of paint before applying it to artwork

I hope that was a bit helpful and I hope you guys try it. Maybe when you are bored you can try it out. I'd loooove to see your work, if you get around doing it please send me a picture, I'll post in on the blog.
