How to Paint a Watercolor Card Worth Sending
Short tutorials for the giver who is sure they cannot draw - but wants to send something they made.
How this collection works
- Who watches this
- You — the person showing up. These videos aren't for the recipient.
- When
- Before a conversation, when you're not sure what to say. Watch alone, take a beat.
- What each beat is for
- Caption orients you before watching. Takeaway is the line to hold onto. Reflection questions turn watching into a small decision.

DIY Watercolor simple cards for any ocassion - easy for beginners
MarenaART · 6 min
An artist on the lowest-barrier card there is - washes, splatters, and salt, no drawing required.
Takeaway
You do not have to be able to draw to make a card someone keeps. A wash, a few splatters, and a pinch of salt on wet paint reads as intentional, not amateur.
Reflection
01
Before you watch, name the person this first card is for and the four words you will write inside it.
02
Lay out your supplies tonight - paper, two or three colours, a brush, and table salt - so the only thing left to do tomorrow is paint.
03
Paint two cards in one sitting using this method, then choose the looser one to send - it will look more confident than the careful one.
