With the “holidaze” in full force, I think we all need a relaxing, easy, and pretty tutorial. Per usual, Phyllis Macaluso has delivered just what the doctor ordered! Today, she’s going to show us how to make a gorgeous holly and pine bough calligraphy flourish to accent holiday paper goods.
There’s just something about watercolor florals on kraft paper! The paint’s semi-transparent quality dries beautifully on the paper to result in an elegant piece. Today, I’ll show you how to use watercolors to make a lovely “thank you” card.
Even those who don’t consider themselves artists will be able to take on this easy filigree illustrated leaf tutorial. Once you make one leaf, you can’t help but draw several more … they’re that pretty (and simple)!
If you’re looking for a pretty project, try this “water stained” hydrangea illustration tutorial! You only need four main supplies to create it: paper, a gel pen, gold watercolor, and a paintbrush.
Today, I’ll walk you through how to use your dip pen to make a vintage rose illustration with modern tools. Fair warning: this tutorial requires a chunk of time to create, but I’ve also got a traceable shortcut to share with you!
