After 2020 threw us off track, we all have hopes for a better 2021. Let’s welcome the new year with sparkle!

Start by rubbing Gelatos pigments Iced Coffee and Black Hole from the Iridescents Gelatos set on watercolor paper cut to 9” x 6” or another size.

Fill your collapsible water cup with water and using the paint brush included in your Iridescents Gelatos set, start wetting the pigment on the watercolor paper. Don’t be afraid to add a lot of water. Let the colors blend naturally.

Wet your paint brush and pick up some Gold Champagne Gelatos pigment right from the tip of the barrel. Splatter it onto the wet pigments on the watercolor paper by tapping on the brush handle very gently. The gold will blend into the mix. Let the paper dry completely. If you want the splatters to stand out more, let the pigments on the paper dry first before you splatter.

With Gold Metallic Pitt Artist Pen write Welcome 2021.

Thicken the lettered lines as shown with same pen.

Add shadows to the lettering with Black Big Brush pen. Add some stars around the page with the Gold Metallic Pitt Artist Pen to finish. You can frame it to display. I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and I wish you a very happy 2021!
