Watercolor: a tiny set for big colors
A mini paint set and one brush, and color enters your life.
Watercolor has a huge advantage: a small compact set, a brush and a glass of water are enough to paint anywhere. It's one of the most portable and soothing creative hobbies there is.
Learn to love the water
All the magic of watercolor lies in how much water you use: too much and it bleeds, too little and it dries badly. Have fun making simple gradients to feel how color dilutes and travels.
Let chance do some work
Unlike tightly controlled drawing, watercolor always keeps some unpredictability, and that's what makes it alive. Embrace the color accidents: they're often what gives your piece the most charm.
