🖌 Before I share more about the bundle, here are a few quick watercolor tips that will help you on your watercolor journey:


🎨 3 Simple Watercolor Tips:

1. Using too much water

It’s easy to think watercolor = lots of water.
But most beginners over-dilute their paint, which leads to pale, streaky results.
A balanced mix of water to pigment gives beautiful, rich colors.
👉Pro Tip: I like to start with a thick (creamy) puddle of color and then add water as I need it!

2. Skip student-grade paper — use 140lb cold-pressed for better results

The biggest beginner frustration usually comes from the paper, not the skill level.
Thin or student-grade paper buckles and the paper does not hold water very well.
Using 100% cotton watercolor paper, 140lb helps your paint absorb properly and makes blending so much easier.

3. Don’t forget to play!

Before I paint anything, I swatch colors, mix new combinations, and test colors I want to use for my palette.
🖌 This simple ritual will help you loosen up, understand your paints better, and get into a creative mood!
I call itGetting to Know Your Colors” it’s basically experimenting with your colors which is essential — even for pros!

Mollys Fine Art Oil Painting Tutorial

White Roses in Oils, I had lots of fun experimenting with the background! Hello Fellow Artists! Something has been quietly growing in my studio these past few weeks. 🖌️ It’s sitting right next to my watercolor palette… but slowly taking over...it's oil paints! When I was a teenager, I had the best art instructor. I had never painted before—just drawing and a bit of pastels. But my instructor didn’t care, he threw me right into oils! He even took us out into the parking lot to paint the back...

"April Showers" Mollys Fine Art Watercolor Tutorial

"April Showers" Molly's Fine Art. My largest painting yet! Hello Fellow Artist! Yay! I just finished the largest watercolor I’ve ever painted! And I almost didn't finish it. 😳 For months, it was sitting on a chair, out of the way of the main part of my studio, halfway finished. And when I would see it, I would say to myself, "someday..." Then, thankfully, there was a call for art at my local art gallery, the theme was Spring. I glanced at the half-finished painting that had been waiting...
