Choose your tools

📄: watercolor paper (density 200–300 g/m²).
🎨: a basic watercolor set (6–12 colors are enough).
🖌️: a medium round, a fine brush for details and a flat brush for fills.
💧: a container of water + napkins.
👉 Important: watercolor loves high-quality paper — it’s the paper that “creates the magic.

Learn the basic techniques

️☀️ Wet-on-dry – clean color with clear edges.
🌊 Wet-on-wet – soft transitions, blur, sky or water effect.
🌱 Dry brush – texture, ef ect of gras or wool.
🌸 Layering – ap lying transparent layers for depth of color.

Start with simple subjects

🌿 A leaf
🌸 A flower
☁️ The sky
🍵 A cup of tea

❗️ Don’t complicate your first work — the goal is to feel the water, the paint, and the brush movement.

Play with colors

🌈 Try mixing warm and cold tones.
Example: 💙 blue + 💛 yellow = 💚 green.
Experiment, but avoid mixing more than 3 colors to prevent a “muddy” effect.

Finishing touches & mood

🖋️ Add small details: shadows, outlines with a thin brush.
Step back and look at your painting from afar — does it reflect your mood?

✨ Key idea: watercolor is about freedom and spontaneity.
Don’t be afraid of mistakes — they can become the unique charm of your artwork!
