4. Watercolor “Bleed” Poppies
This idea uses the “Wet-on-Wet” technique. By letting the paint bleed and bloom on its own, you create dreamy, ethereal poppies that look like they are floating in mist.
- How to Make: Wet a circle on your paper with plain water first. Drop a concentrated glob of red watercolor into the center and watch it spread. Add a tiny dot of black in the center once it’s slightly dry.
- Items to Make: Watercolor paper, red and black watercolor paint, a round brush, and a jar of water.
