What do you do if you don’t like your watercolor painting? Grab some mixed media supplies and in this case, I’m using a black pen. Holding the pen, loosely, trace over your petals and buds and even your stems, going over everything twice for an extra loose and wonky look. You can use crayons, wax p

To paint this fall-inspired flower, I used my 12 round brush and mixed up a purple red color to swipe from the outside in to create my watercolor petals. Next, while the flower is still wet, stipple in some concentrated brown and let it spread in the middle. Mix a little brown with your green and c

Today I started with a quick sketch of these pomegranates and leaves, using a black pen. Make sure that it is waterproof, or this won’t work! Now for the fun part: I chose pinks, oranges, yellow, etc. to start painting in my first layer of the pomegranates. I used boulder versions of these color

Scotland art retreat anyone? We’ve been enjoying practicing all kinds of paintings and today was no exception! Today we got to go on a beautiful hike to Loch Earn, which was absolutely gorgeous! Sure it was raining but after a little bit it cleared up and the misty mountains were incredible! So

In today’s video, we paint some watercolor irises with mixed media. I often struggle painting irises because I feel like I can’t seem to get them right. The watercolor doesn’t go where I want and sometimes I find the shapes look funky to me. But after using a variety of light colors to create my wa

Sometimes painting is exciting and comes easily. Other times, it feels like a chore. Today I am exhausted from returning from a road trip way too late last night and sleeping oh so little. I don’t really feel like painting or doing anything creative so I’m posting this reel from before. But this wa

Today let’s paint with watercolor for gentleness. We use our number 12 round brush, dipping into various colors such as reds, burgundies, oranges, and we dot our page with loose shapes to create our very loose geranium flowers. Make sure to leave a lot of white space in between for a natural look.

Art can be therapeutic. Today we are painting some loose watercolor poppies in our sketchbook. Starting with the larger brush, you’re going to use reds, oranges maybe even pinks to make those loose petals. Pop in that color, watch it spread, make your buds as well as your larger blooms and then pop

Today we are letting go of perfect art! I’m gonna encourage you to start quickly putting in loose flower shapes, they don’t have to look like anything specific. Then while the flower petals are dry, poke in a little bit of darker color and let it spread wherever it goes. Continue to add in leaves a

Today we are painting watercolor bananas for fun! I started with a black pen sketch and then everything else was so easy! It’s like coloring in a coloring book. And if you don’t want to make perfect lines, just make them wonky and wobbly so you have the idea of your bananas and other fruit shapes.

Let’s paint some watercolor flowers for joy! First of all, start by blocking out your floral shapes with light versions of watercolor. Use sweeping motions to create looseness rather than constricted flowers. When everything is dry, start outlining your flowers and create those beautiful details wi

Today, let’s paint and let’s let go of perfectionism. We start off with some rough carrot shapes with watercolor, using a number 12 round brush. These shapes do not have to be perfect, they just have to be there. When everything is dry, you can add in the second very saturated layer of watercolor p

In today’s video, we start by roughly using our reference photo, blocking in the basic shapes with our number 12 round brush. I sometimes follow the reference when it comes to shapes or textures or colors. But I mostly like to do my own thing. When that first layer is dry, we then take our paint br

Let’s make some joyful art! Starting with my number 12 round brush, I dip it into light pink and green to create a multicolored petal. Keep swooping the brush to create your petal shapes. Add in your stems and leaves and when everything is dry, add in a second, slightly darker paint color over the

Today we are painting some loose watercolor hydrangea! I started with loosely blocking out the pink shapes, making sure to leave some white space in-between. When everything is dry, adding in a second layer of slightly darker pink is the go to. Let that dry, make sure to put in your leaves, and the

Today we are painting watercolor papaya fruits for inner piece. We start out by painting the basic shapes in a very light color of orange for these fruits. You can even add in some green if you would like. Then when everything is dry, we add our second of slightly darker paint in some strategic pla

Let’s meet with watercolor to be mindful today. I start with a reference photo, changing most of the details as I tend to do. I selected a dark blue and a golden color to contrast with this bouquet, leaving out the vase. Once the first layer of flower shapes is down, let everything dry and add in y
