Fun Painting Ideas: Dandelion Fluff as Hot Air Balloon

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

This week we go to the fantasy realm with this fun painting of dandelion fluff as a hot air balloon. This was inspired by an illustration on Pixabay. There was not an artist listed for me to credit.

This is a great way to practice washes and getting depth by adding layers that get darker as it comes closer to the foreground. The background wash is done with yellow, pink and blue and the details are added later.

If you paint this, make sure to tag me.

Next week we are going super simple for Easter and making some bunny butts. This will be a great quick card if you need a last minute Easter gift.

Quick and Fun Cotton Grass Painting in 30 Minutes

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

This week’s watercolor tutorial scraps the outline and lets you get expressive with brush strokes to make a gorgeous cotton grass image.

Using simple colors and quick washes you will create depth through layers.

I think this is a really fun painting a would look great in all kinds of colors. Red, pink, or purple flowers will really pop against the grassy foreground. Make sure you have fun with it and embrace a quick 30-minute painting.

Happy Painting.

Next week we will be doing Dandelion Fluff, where we explore painting misty mountains and a fantasy element. Stay tuned.

Create Stunning Koi Fish Art in Watercolor

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

This one was delayed due to me and imovie having a fight over the direction of the video. Several how to videos later, I finally figured it out.

Paint these fun koi fish chilling in a pond. We’ll use pouncers to add a Bokeh effect.

The pdf of the outline is below. The sample painting was done on a 4×6 watercolor card.

Watercolor Tutorial: Jellyfish in a Jar

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

A long time ago, I made a jellyfish that I put in a jar, thus creating the jelly jar.

Crochet your own Jellyfish in a jar

It was a super fun project that I decided to translate into watercolor. There is a pattern for this.

My thought process had a mad scientist collecting specimens and placing them in jars on a shelf. However, they must be pretty. Hence the new watercolor tutorial – Jelly Jar.

This is a quick project done on 4 x 6 paper to make it a card. It also could be a sketch book exercise that you keep just for yourself. I love trying to make tutorials so you can have a completed project in less than an hour. I know I personally have been having trouble finding time to paint, so I wanted to provide a resource that allows you to get your art fix in but not need a ton of time. The colors are minimal, and you can change them up to any combination that floats your fancy. In the video, I talk about other ideas I had regarding the jelly jars, and I may try them in my sketch book.

I don’t have next week’s tutorial created yet, but I do have ideas.

If you follow one of my tutorials, please tag me on Instagram so I can see your wonderful work.

Changes and Watercolor

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting any new patterns for a while. I’m still crocheting, but not as frequently as things have been a little crazy. The free patterns are still up, but I don’t know when I will be adding more.

I have been adding watercolor tutorials to the website.

Like this one.

These are faster to create and require less typing, haha.

I also created a Patreon for the watercolor tutorials so check it out.

I would like to point out that some of these patterns were posted over 10 years ago and I still get questions/demands about them. If that continues and people are nasty to me about free patterns, I will be forced to take them down. I don’t mind questions, but remember, I did say they haven’t been tested and they are free.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Sid the Jersey Devil – Free Pattern

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

Have you heard about the Jersey Devil? It has wings and feeds on crops and livestock, but has never harmed a human, at least that was what the legends say.

I felt I needed to add a new little one to my cryptid set as Mothman, Cthulhu, Roswell and Betty the Yeti needed a new friend.

The pattern is below. It has not been tested. While he is in the process of testing, the pattern text will remain up here for free. After I get the video shot, I will post the video instructions and the edited updated pattern.

If you make Sid, tag me so I can find it. Happy Crocheting.

Roswell the Alien Crochet Pattern

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

Sometimes you need to make a sassy alien. The sassiness is created by how you sew the legs on. Feel free to pin them until you get them to the right level of sassiness.

Roswell is obviously named after Roswell, New Mexico. He’s your typical little green man, but you should really go crazy and make him in as many colors as you want.

Krampus Cork Ornament

I have had a bit more time to type up patterns. Here’s another cork ornament. These are great scrap busters. Perfect, quick and easy projects for Christmas presents or to hang on ornaments.

Other cork ornaments, Leia Cork, Wario Cork, Wednesday Addams Cork, Mickey Mouse Ears Cork, Chicken Cork, and Bunny Cork.

This pattern is not tested. Let me know if you have any issues. use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it.

Note: Project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.

Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.
