Remember watercoloring as a kid?
I still love to do it but it may be because I'm such a big kid.
I like watercoloring for two main reasons and here they are...
1. It's cheep! Especially when you use an old Cryola paint set (YES I use my kids old school supplies)
2. You can get a whole range of looks from just a small amount of colors.
Check out these two cards made with the same watercolor colors.
You can go super bold or really soft.
Linking these cards to
Get a bold look with your paints by using less water and picking up lots of pigment with your brush.

Get a pastel look with your watercoloring by lightly dabbing your wet brush into the paint, then onto a paper towel, then back into the water again.
