Looking for a relaxing summer craft that you can use for summer decor, or set aside for some unknown future use? I'd recommend watercolor cut-outs, and in this case pineapples! I've already shared with you watercolor strawberry cutouts and of course, last year I made quite a few watercolor floral cutouts, that are just lovely. So friends, regardless of the quality of watercolor paint you might have on hand, get yourself something that is at the least mixed media paper or inexpensive watercolor paper, and have fun painting and then cutting out the best of the bunch to use in a variety of ways, or to put into an envelope or flat box to be saved and down the road used as gift toppers, collage fodder, you name it!
How To:
Not a lot to explain here, just draw your pineapple in pencil, preferably don't paint over the pencil lines so you can erase them, and then add some fine lines with a dip pen or fine lined black marker, you decide! Cut out the pineapples and use as you like!
My watercolors are kohinoor brand that comes in a stacked wheel.....they do have a sandy texture but i'm enjoying them and have even ordered another set since it is so great for travel. The pink color is actually Daniel Smith opera pink from a tube, and I just ordered a new tube of that as well!
Summer is the perfect time to explore watercolors, so dive in!
