Color-themed watercolor painting collections has been fun, efficient, and has been responsible for me landing two brand collaborations so far. It's a powerful tool when it's done well, and will take you further than you know.

That's why I'm so excited to share my newest class, Watercolor Collections: Scroll Stopping Color-Themed Artwork! Inside, I'll show you how to build a small 3-piece watercolor collection inspired and supported by a single color palette. The few colors you use will unify your collection pieces, making it a scroll-stopping attraction.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE:

Tools & Materials

Watercolor paints- I’m using Viviva Colors watercolor colorsheets because they are very saturated in color, 100% biodegradable, vegan, and made with natural non-toxic dyes. You can learn more about them here.
Watercolor brushes- I’m using medium and small round brushes and a medium flat brush.
Watercolor paper- at least 140lb/300gm which is absorbent enough not to buckle excessively. It’s a bonus if it’s made with cotton.
Pencil -You an use any pencil you have on hand. I’m using an 2B or HB pencil and keeping my strokes light.
Eraser that doesn’t leave marks on paper. I’m using a polymer eraser but gum erasers work well too.
Jar(s) of water to rinse brushes. You can also use recycled cups, mugs, and anything else that will hold water. I’m using two of them to keep my brushes extra clean, and so I don’t have to change my water as much.
Rags and/or paper towels- I use a combination of both. Having a white rag or towel to clean brushes with ensures you know all the paint has been removed. The cleaner you keep your brushes, the longer their lifespan!
Sketch pad to create some thumbnails for pre-planning your collection.
