Welcome to my How to Watercolor Series!
I've had a few requests to write some posts and tutorials on how to watercolor and I'm excited to share more about my passion with you!
I've been painting with watercolors for about four years now and I love it more all the time..... and I still have lots to learn. Watercolors are versatile as well as unpredictable, but that's what makes them fun. You don't always have full control over what's going to happen when you put that paint on paper, but you with some practice and some knowledge about different techniques you can gain more control..... and create some pretty cool art!
So, in this series you'll learn about:
the materials and supplies you need to start painting with watercolor,
And finally, how to actually paint a still life!
I hope you are excited! This series has been months in the making and I can't wait to get it out to you!
Oh fun! I hope to follow along with my 14 year old daughter.

Thanks for sharing your talents. I am a regular admirer of your watercolor art AND your photography. Any plans of starting a photography tutorial as well?
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing...thanks for sharing and I can't wait to read your posts ! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited for your series! Do you ever use a Silhoutte Portrait/Cameo to do your drawing? I'm not an artist, so I'm hoping to use mine to "cheat" and would love some tips. Also, I've been using Kid Made Modern watercolor paper from Target (my kids'!) and I find it great for practicing...
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Craft Gossip and your pattern for the scarf.
ReplyDeleteThis water-colouring series is just what I have been looking for. Some of the tuts are so 'artist' speak it puts me off. You are clear and basic which is what I need, thank you so much.
Looking forward to following through
