You don’t have to be a master at watercolor to make these watercolor flowers.  They are super easy to make and look AWESOME!!

I started with a piece of watercolor paper and used a stencil and molding paste to get some texture on the paper.

Next, I got my watercolors, ink and stamps ready.

I used my fan brush to splatter the watercolors onto my paper.  The texture from the stencil and molding paste helped the paint to move around.  I splattered yellow, light green and light orange watercolors all over the paper and concentrated specific colors in small areas on all 4 corners of the paper.

When the paint was dry, I cut it into 4 separate sections.  Then I stamped a flower on top of 3 of the sections with India ink.

Is that awesome or what??  I am so in love with these flowers!  They came out sooo much better than I thought!!  The splatter is the thing that makes them pop!

Thanks for visiting!!  I hope you splatter something today!!
