Hi, I’m Mary — Here to Make Watercolor Simple :)
I'm a self-taught watercolor artist and creative blogger. I picked up a brush in 2020 — with no art background, just a curiosity to try something new.
Since then, painting has become my favorite way to slow down, explore creativity, and make something just for the joy of it.
Now I share what I’ve learned with watercolor beginners who want to enjoy the process with pressure, perfection, or overwhelm.
My blog is full of simple, practical watercolor tips and friendly tutorials to help you build confidence and enjoy the process.
