Learn To Watercolor The Easy Way

Learn to Watercolor The Easy Way With These Step-By-Step Tutorial Watercolor Books

I’ve always wanted to learn to watercolor but, alas, I appear to have NO talent. And, that’s exactly why I ordered two of these beautiful learn to watercolor books.

Each themed watercolor tutorial book leads the budding artist through actual paintings on each page. A swipe of a loaded watercolor brush right on the pre-sketched drawing brings your own rendition to life.

You also might be interested in an even easier art activity like Reusable Water Paintings where one just swipes a wet brush across the picture for the color to appear. These fun activity pages dry back to white and are reusable time and time again.

Watercolor With Me Books Are The Easiest Way To Learn To Watercolor

I ran across these wonderful learn-to-watercolor painting books while researching this article.

What I love about this particular art series is that not only is the book a step-by-step tutorial but there are sketches of each picture on which to paint. No drawing needed to complicate things!

Whether your elderly loved one is currently in quarantine or not, these compact watercolor sets are easy to use and pack up which, as a caregiver, I appreciate!

Some of these watercolor sets include brushes but they’re usually poor quality. You might want to stack the odds that your senior friend IS the next Grandma Moses by gifting her with a quality set of watercolor paint brushes.

I don’t know about you but the greeting card my father painted for me is among my favorite possessions. I have it framed on the wall as a reminder of his love for me.

Think how special a hand painted card by Grandma or Grandpa would be to arrive in the mail for a birthday or holiday?

A Small Easel Might Make Watercolor Painting Easier

Note, for some budding artists, painting on an easel is NOT the way to go as, if too much water is used, the paint will run. Doing the watercolor pictures while flat on a table might be a better option.
