[克莉絲汀娜]哈囉，大家好，我是克莉絲汀娜

Welcome to Day 18 of the Holiday Card series for 2016.

歡迎來到二零一六年的節日卡片系列第十八天

Today I'm going to be making a card completely from scratch.

今天我要一切從零開始，創造出一張卡片

卡片製作全程都會使用水彩上色

You see my sketch up there on the top corner.

你可以看見我在卡片紙上畫了草圖

I had a little idea for what I wanted my card to look like.

因為我已經大致想好卡片的設計小點子了

So I'm sketching it out onto some Arches watercolor paper,

所以就直接把草稿畫在法國「Arches」牌水彩畫紙上

Now, I'm taking some Drawing Gum, or masking fluid,

現在，我要使用一些繪製膠或是留白膠

and I'm going to mask off the two mittens

And I'm doing this because I want those areas to be white

塗上繪製膠的原因是，我想要把那些區域留白

這樣一來，當我把其他顏料塗到想留白的區域時，才不會受到影響

The words in particular, I'm going to keep white completely.

特別是文字部分，我想要完全留白

I want them to be nice and bright compared to the outside color that I'll be adding later.

我想和稍後即將上的背景顏色作為對比，將文字營造出好看、明亮的感覺

So, I needed to make sure that I masked that on.

因此，我必須確認文字區域有塗上繪製膠

如果你也想要使用這樣的「留白手法」

可以直接繞過「手套」圖案位置

and then use a white acrylic paint, or gouache,

接著使用白色的丙烯酸塗料或是樹膠水彩(譯註：俗稱「不透明水彩」)

something opaque to paint on the lettering afterward

在上卡片被景色後，再把文字的地方用不透明顏料塗白

instead of having to mask off the lettering.

這樣就不用在文字區域塗上繪製膠了

I taped my watercolor piece down to a board,

and I also tested out some different colors of watercolors

just to get the colors of watercolors exactly where I wanted them.

配置出我最想要的卡片顏色佈局

After it was dry, all of the masking fluid,

I started to go in with my background color.

And I'm using sort of like a muted aqua teal.

我也使用了類似灰綠色當作背景色

It's kind of a really, kind of dusty kind of color once it's dry.

等到顏料漸漸乾掉後，看起來就會像是「塵埃色」

I want to have this as the background color.

我想要用灰綠色當作卡片的背景色

It's going to be creating kind of a shape around the entire picture around the mittens and also the words.

這會塑造出整張卡片的色調，圍繞著手套圖案與文字區域

I didn't want it to have just a plain white background.

我不想要卡片的背景是一片死白

I wanted it to have a little bit of color

I'm just using this shade all over the entire area.

我想要用這樣的陰影色塗滿整個背景區域

I'm watering down some areas using a little bit less paint,

我也把筆沾上一點水，暈染在一些背景區塊

這樣可以讓畫面看起來較不單調

dropping in some darker areas of that paint.

把顏料點在一些在構圖內屬於陰影的區塊

and I get a little bit of variation in color.

這樣顏色看起來就比較有變化了

在文字區域也同樣使用這樣的手法

So I'm not gonna get a huge difference in color,

這樣就不會讓顏色彼此太過突兀

and you'll be able to see that once I have it dry.

等到我把顏料烘乾，你就可以看見效果了

You can see there are a couple dry patches,

but it's not really a big difference in color.

但並沒有和原先顏色有太大的差異

So, I decided to go over it with a second coat of paint.

and in others I'll be adding a little bit of a darker paint color.

在另一些地方，則加上深一點的顏色

This is going to give it a little bit of interest.

這樣畫面看起來就會更為生動了

I also wanted to soften those edges around the shape a little bit,

我也要把四個邊角稍微「柔焦化」

藉著塗上第二層顏料，來達成我想要的柔焦效果

I'm gonna go ahead and remove the masking fluid.

The thing with masking fluid that you have to remember is

you never go on to the next step unless everything is dry.

在所有顏料都完全乾掉以前，絕對不進行下一步驟

So after you apply it, you have to let it completely dry.

所以塗上繪製膠後，你必須等它全乾

And then you can remove the masking fluid.

我使用日本「Xyron」牌的黏性橡皮擦

to help me remove all that masking fluid.

So now I'm going to start painting on the red areas on the mittens.

現在我準備使用紅色顏料塗上手套圖案的一些區域

I'm going to do this in a variety of different ways.

我要採用很多不同手法來設計手套圖案

as well as adding some more masking fluid,

So I've dropped in some plain colors of red.

所以如你所見，我已經塗上一些紅色色塊了

Now, I'm going to do kind of a little zigzag shape.

And I'm going to have the zigzag be white.

So I'm going to start by painting the top of the zigzag,

塗上上方鋸齒所形成的倒三角形

and then I'll go ahead and paint the bottom.

I don't think this design is particularly difficult,

我覺得這樣的設計並不算太困難

could probably create a card similar to this.

可以創造出和我非常雷同的卡片設計

and giving yourself plenty of time to work on this card.

especially if you simplify the mitten even more.

特別是如果你簡化了手套的繪製設計

So I'm adding some masking fluid details,

接著，我要在一些細節設計塗上繪製膠

some snowflakes, or stars, and then also some dots.

雪花圖案、星星圖案，然後是一些點點圖案

And I'm going to add in a very light wash of red,

而後我用很輕的筆觸塗上一點紅色

And this one on the left was dry before the one on the right.

左邊區塊已經乾了，但右邊區塊還沒有乾

So I'm going to move on to adding some darker details on the wristbands of the mittens.

然後，我要把手套上的手腕處等細節的顏色再加深

I wanted to give these a little bit more character,

我想要讓卡片看起來有個性一點

make them look like they're standing up off of that page.

So, just adding a little bit of a darker area.
