Watercolor: Pomegranates (& three watercolor tutorial videos to get you started)

Save for later & Share!

With only 26 days till Spring (and that means Spring Art Festivals & exhibit opportunities in regional shows) here are some inspiring watercolor tutorial videos (see links below) by three artist/illustrators on youtube to get your creative juices flowing. Prepare your paints, paper and brushes, as well as your reference material, and grab a sketchbook to jot down notes, and then watch some watercolor clips with a cup of tea before you dive into painting something! Do it, do it, do it! 🙂

Here is a 12 minute tutorial on mixing warm vs cool secondary colors in watercolor by Teoh Yi Chie.

Here is a 14 minute tutorial on painting leaves in watercolor by Angela Fehr

And here is a 10 minute video on painting 3 different atmospheric backgrounds in watercolor by Susan Harrison Tustain.

Okay, so that’s a little over 30 minutes of video tutorial inspiration to get you started. Watch, take some notes, and then move your eyes off the screen for a bit, face your art supplies with cheerful, appreciative conviction, put an audio book on to keep your bottom in that art-making seat, and #makesomething. Happy painting!

There are so many people who don’t know what they want. And I think that, in this world, that’s the only thing you have to know – exactly what you want. … Doing what you were born to do … That’s the way to be happy.
