Creative Tips for Using Watercolor in Coloring Books for Adults

Hi Friends.
Painting watercolor shouldn't be about rules but about finding JOY and using your precious free time to elevate your life. I'm here to push fears aside, avoid complicated tools and inspire free spirited, mood shifting watercolor experiences in short bursts of time.
1. Loose with pencil
2. Bold brushstrokes
3. Sketching with watercolor
I hope you'll paint along with me and ask all the questions you want in comments! Post your creations using the hashtags #artforjoysake and #forgetrulesforgetrightrememberjoy
Happy Painting!

    What do you think of using watercolor pencils in your books? Is there a tutorial about doing that?

    They could be tricky in any watercolor book, between going back and forth between water and the paper. If the paper is not the best quality that can affect the experience as well.

    Bought two of your coloring books. Pictures are great. I was disappointed with the water coloring paper. Can’t move paint around very much for paper peeling. I didn’t do any scrubbing. I used a light touch. Couldn’t bend any.

    Jean Murdock Hi Jean! This paper is called hot press and is smooth to the touch. The best advice I can offer is to use more water. You can also start by wetting the paper thoroughly (spray bottle) and then working in more water as you add pigment. More water is better for this type of paper :)

    I think it would look cool to do the wash around the shape and make the middle stand out that way. I will have to try that. Denise (not Dennis)

    Just got this book but when use a water brush it just puts out constant water even if I don’t press on it & is there a tip on using them? As usually use a reg brush & just add more water for lighter washes but wish water brushes only put out the water when you want it to do so. Love the book!
