01 Gather your supplies! Cut your watercolor paper (4x6� or 5x7� for a standard frame size) and fill a big mason jar with water. Start by spreading a good bit of water across the paper using your brush. This helps prevent the paper from curling up and will help the colors to blend..
02 Start simple. If choosing colors is too much pressure, choose one neutral and one bright color. Gray or tan looks magical with any bold, bright paint. Test your color on scrap paper. The more water on your brush or paper, the lighter the color will be. I like to start in the corners and work toward the middle. It’s less intimidating.
