As a Florida girl I really shouldn't be complaining about the heat in Virginia - but lately it has been HOT! Between the warm weather and June being just a day away it's really starting to feel like summer...and for some reason this has me completely inspired by watercolors. Not the dreamy pastels, but bright, beautiful hues in designs that stand out and demand attention. I think the bright colors combined with the light, airy feeling of watercolors (which is totally what you need to combat the sweltering summer heat) make these perfect inspirations for this time of year.

It could also be that I'm taking a painting class in acrylics right now (which I LOVE) and it's making me take notice of anything painted around me. I would love to learn how to paint with watercolor (beyond the watercolor paintings of my elementary school days). I've worked with gouache (opaque watercolor) before, but only in design class so I have no idea how to get those beautiful watercolor strokes.
Love these Kate Spade watercolor design plates!

Do any of y'all paint with watercolors (or just love them right now like me)?
