Kraft Lab Tuesday - Dylusions Experiment

Hello All:

Today, I experimented with using Dylusions by Ranger as watercolors.  I placed a little bit of the liquid delusions in a plastic pill container.  I was able to get at least 6 colors in and snapped the lids shut.

Experiment #1 - Will the liquid dylusions evaporate?

Experiment #2 - How intense are the colors during application with a watercolor paint brush?

Experiment #3 -  When mixing delusions with acrylic paint, did either mediums fade or bleed?


Results:

Experiment #1 - Ongoing will report next Week.  No evaporation after 24 hours.


Experiment #2 - The colors are intense via first application, but intensity does diminish with the addition of water or  when trying to clean the brush.  It takes a while for the brush to become clean as the water keeps the color useful.  I see many benefits of delusions use for watercoloring.  I was able to use the color "white picket fence" on top of the main color







Experiment #3 - The use of delusions over acrylic paint does not effect either medium on the journal page....page is a watercolor paper.


Summary:

I have to say that I love using Dylusions by Ranger as watercolor paint.   I was able to write using my handwriting using the stem of the spray bottle.  This was a illuminating Kraft Lab.   Enjoy!

V-Day 2014 - my perspective

It may just be me, but is this winter taking the fun out snow?  Not feeling very red and white for Valentine's Day.  My cards are reflecting my "so over snow" mood.  Take a look:
The first card has silver paint....I should get points for using dollar store hearts.  What do you think?  Any way back to the Kraft lab.
