Yes it is true, watercolor mosaic fruit have stolen my heart, can you blame me? First it was watercolor mosaic strawberries, then watercolor pineapple cutouts, and now watercolor mosaic fruit, like grapes, oranges and lemons! Creating patterns with watercolor is so very relaxing, and when those patterns are random and fill fruit shapes such that they look like mosaic fruit, well I'm sold! And the best part is, you can keep the ones you like, and then simply turn over the paper and paint some more! Cut-outs are wonderful to have on hand for crafting and collaging and art journaling, not to mention to use as gift tags or even cake toppers! So grab an hour or so on a lazy summer afternoon (or burn the midnight oil like me....) and give mosaic watercolor fruit a try!
You'll Need:
- inexpensive watercolor paper
- watercolors, mine are the inexpensive koh-i-noor brand, higher quality that kid's watercolors, and they come in a stacked disc which is wonderful, and still budget friendly
- watercolor brushes that are round with a point
How To:
Draw the outline of the fruit in pencil, and improvise the rest, leaving white spaces between each section. Never paint over the pencil line if you can, as you'll want to erase it afterwards. Cut out your fruit and go make some more! Hang as garlands, or glue to skewers to make cake toppers!
Enjoy!
