This watercolor tutorial is all about playing with color! In the video below, my daughter and I walk you through ways you can play with the color purple. I think you’ll be surprised with the varying results.
Here are some things you might want to have on hand before you start the video:
- jar of water (we reuse yogurt containers)
- paper towel for blotting
- watercolor paints. We use something like this* in the video (ours came from Michael’s).
- your favorite brushes (I like one rounded brushes with tips like these**). Sarah is using one with more of a point. The one I use in the video is a Master’s Touch Round 14 from Hobby Lobby.
- printed template that you can download HERE (or click on the image below). We are using watercolor paper (like this* ) but you could use plain paper or even old book pages.
We’d love to see what you create! Send us a picture at mary@marydeandraws.com or tag us on Instagram @marydeandraws.

I recently had a major injury that involved 2 surgeries to the elbow on my dominant arm. I could barely even hold a pencil for a while, but as I improved I started looking for simple watercolor tutorials on YouTube. I am really enjoying yours and all of the wonderful content on your blog. Thank you for sharing your talents this way. It has been a blessing to me.
Oh my goodness! I’m so happy to hear that these were accessible for you. I’m sorry you’ve had so much suffering with your arm. 🙁 Thank you for being here.
