Ever since I was in The Painted Box (Angela Nino)'s class at CookieCon2017 I've been itching to do some "watercolor" designs on cookies. The fact that she uses my glaze recipe for her "canvas" means I've got a head start.
Angela was gracious to make a YouTube video about how she creates her "watercolors paints" for cookies. After watching it a few times, I quickly purchased some glass stopper bottles, strainer, glass funnel, half pint mason jars, and some EverClear.
Angela makes it look super easy. I have no idea what I'm doing when I pick up a paintbrush, so these look like a child painted them. But thankfully, watercolors are pretty forgiving. Even though these are pretty rough.....they were still super fun to create and it just makes me want to practice and improve my technique. :)
Thank you, Angela, for sharing your beautiful art with all of us!
Even though this photo was not taken with the cookies featured in this blog post, I wanted you to see the set-up I used to create my watercolored cookies. Angela's YouTube video explains how to make the bottles of color.
