Discover the calm of watercolouring with natural pigments. Use your watercolour paper and experiment with colours from coffee, tea, flowers, and fruit to create beautiful, organic artworks. Bring nature directly onto your paper!
1
Take a walk in a field or just in the park. Pick some beautiful grasses and flowers.
2
See which grasses and flowers you can use as finishing touches for your project. The idea is to attach them to the painting at the end.
3
Collect some natural pigments that are close in colour to the grasses and flowers. Experiment with how they flow onto the paper, what do the colours do? Coffee and tea diluted with water gives the effect of water colour.
4
Rub a stone over a blade of grass and green leaves for shades of green, flatten a dandelion for yellow and use a cornflower and lavender for shades of blue and purple.
5
Take a pencil and sketch the grasses and flowers on the paper.
6
Paint the sketches and emphasise the colours as much as possible with your chosen pigments.
7
Finally, glue the grasses and flowers onto your workpiece.
8
Design a nice spot in your house. Tip: With Glue Dots you can easily attach water colour paper to the wall.
