Get App Watercolor painting is a colorful and peaceful way to learn and create. Let’s practice together! 1 @arts_every_day on

Get App Gather your tools and materials to set up your work space. Fill water to line marked on cup. 2 @arts_every_day on

Get App A small sponge or a folded paper towel can help keep your brushes clean. Step 8 will show you how! 3 @arts_every_day on

Get App Begin getting your paints juicy by dropping clean water into each color. 4 @arts_every_day on

Get App Let’s get to know your brush. The ferrule connects the handle & bristles. The tip is called the toe! 5 @arts_every_day on

Get App Keep your brush clean so the “toe” stays pointy, and hold the brush behind the “ferrule”. 6 @arts_every_day on

Get App Our first technique is called “wash”. With watercolor paints, the more water the lighter the color. 7 @arts_every_day on

Get App Clean your brush before each new color. Gently swish brush on bottom of water cup and pat on sponge. 8 @arts_every_day on

Get App Paint another “wash”. Use a paper towel to ”blot” and let light areas appear in dark areas of paint. 9 @arts_every_day on

Get App For “wet-in-wet”, brush clean water on to painting, then touch that area with paint on your brush. 10 @arts_every_day on

Get App Now try “dry brush”. Use paper towel to dry both paint & brush. The brush marks will be scratchier! 11 @arts_every_day on

Get App Use a pencil to lightly sketch a simple composition to practice with. Your sketch can be different!! 12 @arts_every_day on

Get App Experiment with “wash”, “blot”, “wet in wet” and “dry brush” in a practice painting. (Or 2 or 3!) 13 @arts_every_day on

Get App Remember to always clean your brushes when done: “swish, swish, swish, pat, pat, pat.” 14 @arts_every_day on

Get App The more you paint the more you will learn! 15 @arts_every_day on

Get App Have fun practicing watercolor painting! 16 @arts_every_day on

Get App Thanks!! @arts_every_day on
