Tips for creating watercolor motifs SIGN UP:

Weird blooms, color that becomes flat and solid, wonky edges, there are so many things that can go wrong with watercolor. Learning a few simple techniques can really make a difference.

I am an eternal student of watercolor painting. I don’t foresee becoming a master painter but I adore the process of painting, the sound of the water swirling in the jar, the feel of the paint on the brush, seeing the pigment move across the page as it flows into the water. It’s magical :)

Sometimes, I struggle to achieve whats in my minds eye but I have developed techniques that let me take my wonky paintings and turn them into beautiful patterns.

I’ve created a short list of 5 tips that I use to paint and prepare my art for use in repeat patterns. Give these tips a try to see improvement in your watercolor pattern design.
