I wanted to share a little of my “splatter color” creative process, since clearly I’m obsessed with it. (If you haven’t been following the journey on Instagram, you should!!) First I splatter fresh water with a paintbrush, sort of strategically around my watercolor paper. I try to make it into a wreath shape so that I have space in between to write words.

Then I pick my colors, usually three, usually complimentary, and individually fill each droplet with pigment! Very tedious, but I do it this way because I’m actually fascinated by how the water snatches up the color. And I can guide it into swirls or zigzags if I want.

Then I let it dry, which usually takes two hours, and then I add the words!
