If you’ve been craving a project that’s creative, quick, and a little different, you’ll like this tutorial. Today’s accordion-fold watercolor card is as fun to make, and it looks just as pretty standing up as it does laying flat.
Today, I’ll teach you how to make a beautifully loose tree illustration using watercolors and a straw. This is the perfect project when you’re in the mood for something creative, calming, and a little bit unpredictable!

This year’s TPK Mother’s Day card is beautiful, meaningful, and easier to make than it looks. With watercolor video tutorials and thoughtful writing prompts to guide you, this project offers a sweet way to slow down and create something that will mean the world to a special mom.
Today’s article is a little different—it’s more like a video workshop! I recommend bookmarking it so you can go through each section at your own pace and really get the hang of using the triangular brush.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned watercolorist, having a custom color chart is invaluable. Fortunately, making a neat and functional chart doesn’t have to involve tedious measuring—there’s a much easier way to do it!
