🕑 Added 2024-08-23 13:59:21 +0000 UTC(Morgan and Noelle both mentioned you'll want to grab some watercolor specific paper to print on. Bellow is the message from Morgan :)
(Morgan,
Hello!! Watercolorist here! I'm so excited for this! Pro tip: use 100% cotton watercolor paper if you can! You'll be more successful with your painting. The cotton paper absorbs the watercolor paint extremely well. If you use a paper blend (not 100% cotton), the watercolor will not absorb well and you'll end up with lots of buckling and pooling. β€οΈ)
Hello!!
I hope you've been having a wonderful month so far! I've spent the last few weeks preparing things for this fall and am ready to take a break and make a mess with you!
From what I understand, it works well if you have a light outline of what you'll be painting first, So I've laid down a couple of soft sketches of Professor Poof which you can choose from :) I'm attaching them here, so feel free to print them out and work along with me, or you can also create your own of whatever you like and we can work through this together!
I've not played with watercolor much before, but from my experience it's a really fun medium, so I'm super jazzed to see how this goes!
I can't wait to see you!
-Christine

How do I see the watercolor video of Professor Poof?
Gigi
Really enjoyed this, I had no idea you could get so many colors and gradations out of watercolor paint!
Angie
π Heβs so cute!
Heather J
I love the little turkey leg shaped hind legs! So cute
Jennifer Lewis
I posted on instagram and facebook with the hashtag #creatingwithchristine and #creatingwithchristinemcconnell I would love to see your work as well :)
Tracy Nelson
I guess I missed the boat. I see 2hrs ago a "locked" class. Not sure if it's the same one. Do we need to click on the link before it locks, or is that a different class?
Tracy Nelson
Hi! It's after 12pm PST. Is there a link I'm supposed to get? This is my first live. Not sure what to do next. Standing by..
Jessica Huennekens
What's our hashtag for this??
Alison
Thanks Emma π
Cordelia
She will make the post with the link the day of the live stream. its usually up at least a good 30 mins before the decided time. Good reminder to check your time zone so you dont miss it. Example: Live stream is at 3:00PM EST = 12:00PM PST= 1:00PM MST.
Alison
I figured the link would appear shortly before it started but I have not attended the live stream before. Good question.
Gigi
I'm having a lot of trouble locating where to watch this live stream, as I did not receive a link.
Araceli Macias
This sounds like so much fun!!!! Can't wait xoxo
Dasha B
How cute!! Excited for sunday β€οΈβΊοΈ
Carlie Brashears
I am obligated to make both of my sweet kitties, so I'm currently illustrating them with your wings. But I would literally die for Poof B. So I'm doing three!
Leslie Langenegger
Very excited for this as I have never watercolored before! Poof looks adorable!!
Monica Shew
Much cuter than the bat we had flying through our home a few days ago. We think it wanted the house tour π
Hermine-Virginie Simon
I just love these sketches πππππππ
Emy AUBIN
Yay! This is awesome π I love those craft along. Salem! Kitty!!!! C'me hereπ...
Morgan
Of course! I don't mind at all! Happy to help. βΊοΈ
Aunt Debbie Halloween
This going to be so much fun! And since Instagram hashtags have changed for the worse - where will people be posting their watercolors? I'm excited to see what people are going to create!
Rana Boustany
I canβt wait to do this project with you, Christine! How lovely! And also thanks for the info regarding the type of paper (I have canson and daler rowney types so I think they will do the job). Just a quick question: you prefer watercolour paint in tube or cake form? Probably both work but I like to follow along with what you suggest.
Tracy Nelson
Beautiful sketch Christine! This will be fun, thank you for sharingπ€©
Kate
Fantastic!! I cannot paint to save my life but I am working on a sewing project so I'll do that along with you instead! Also, I sent both you and The Captive a message on Instagram about a gift I'm working on for you so if you could ask him to check it out, that would be great. My Instagram account name is DeadlyNightshadeLondon xxx
Christine McConnell
Thank you so much Morgan! If you don't mind, I'm going to copy your comment and place it the text above! :D
Morgan
π I just made a comment about using 100% cotton paper for this! That's what I always tell folks to do when they're starting out. You'll be much less flustered and way more happy with the finished product. π β€οΈ

This came at the right time. Feeling a little down lately and packing up my Victorian interiors. A Christine crafting afternoon is exactly what I need. Always look forward to your fun videos for inspiration! Poof is also just the cutest π

The sketches of Poof are SO adorable! Reminds me of the cat, Mr. Whiskers, from Frankenweenie!
Sherrie Potgieter
ππ Stop that! Poof was born to have wings! Oh!! I'll give my dragon (bearded) some wings π Super excited about this. Thank you, Christine xoxo .....the little feet π€£ this would make a great plushie

Canβt wait! Watercolor is tricky but so beautiful. I highly recommend grabbing some watercolor paper if printing out this design it will really help control the paintβΊοΈ
