When you're first starting out with watercolor, or even if you're a more experienced artist stuck and in need of inspiration, playing around with simple painting ideas can be loads of fun!
That's my main messageβplay! In this tutorial I show give you three things to try: an easy wet-on-wet abstract, an easy flower bouquet, and a sunset landscape. Each of these use different watercolor techniques and brush strokes, too, so it's great practice!

I especially like the first part. I like abstraction. Those blue spots are great. I think we will try this work with children next time. I just need to buy better paper.
