How we made the Watercolor Flower Painting

You will see the steps below that we used to make the watercolor flowers. A simple painting craft you can do with kids.

Step 1: Place the Flower Cookie Cutter on the Watercolor Paper

You are going to start by placing the flower on the watercolor paper. You want to hold on the outside of on the top. You want to make sure you are holding the cookie cutter in place.

Step 2: Hold the Flower Cookie Cutter and Paint Inside

Next you will start painting inside the cookie cutter that you picked. You want to make sure to paint all the way around the flower.

You can paint the by the walls of the cookie cutter and then paint the inside. Or paint the inside and work to the outside of the flower.

Step 3: Look the the Flower on the Paper

After you have your flower painted you look to see how the flower looks. It is fun to see the flower shapes appear on the page.

For older kids they might want to touch up the flower after they have it done.

Step 4: Keep Painting Flowers

Now you want to keep painting flowers on the paper. You can pick a new flower or use the same one with a different color.

You can see below that you can overlap the flowers on the paper. And you can use lots of different watercolors with a big watercolor set.

And if they only paint a few flowers and they don’t overlap that is okay. This is just a few way to paint flowers.

You can also check out a flower stamp painting that uses these same flowers.
