Watercolor Painting for Beginners: Top 10 Techniques & Supplies

Let’s watercolor!! Recently, since being in quarantine, watercoloring has become such an amazing creative and meditative time that I dedicate to myself. I usually take 2-3 hours and just sit in silence (or with music or a podcast) and I just paint to my heart’s desire! It’s a big part of my self care routine now! When I sit down to watercolor, I begin by searching for inspiration images of what I want to paint. I then begin sketching out my illustration before diving in! There aren’t many water coloring do’s and dont’s - the only real no-no is using printer paper since it will warp and rip! Make sure you are using proper watercolor paper to ensure durability. So grab your watercolor pallet, your watercolor paper, any paint brush or watercolor brush of your choosing, a cup of water, and paint with me!
