This might be the coolest thing ever! How fun does the watercolor look with the extra shine of some embossing? This will take your watercolor project to the next level and give it a really professional and polished look.

Watercolor Calligraphy

This tutorial is really fun and unique. Calligraphy pens can be intimidating but Zakkiya really breaks it down and helps you learn to use one with watercolors. She has lots of great tips and techniques.

Watercolor Fruit

Watermelon is my favorite, well actually I have never met a fruit I didn’t like and these are no exception! These watercolor fruits are made using a Tombow brush which is super fun. This is a great technique for using those pens for another purpose.

Watercolor Clay Bowl

These little watercolor bowls are so adorable. I want one in every room. How perfect would this be to store your keys or as a ring dish? You should definitely go make lots of these.
