How To: Cricut Watercolor Markers

 Hey Y'all!

The Watercolor Markers from Cricut function just like their other markers, and pens.



How To-
You'll choose your image(s) in design space, and set them to draw.
Follow the machine prompts for when to load & switch markers.
Fill the brush with water.
Color/Paint!

It's that easy.

In the following 2 examples I'll show you how it's done.

The first video I used copy paper, and would not recommend that. A medium weight cardstock seemed to work best. 

In this first video I do go through the design space process & choosing an image:


In the second video I try a few different water ratios and brush techniques:

Thoughts?

I'm sure with choosing the right image and a bit of practice this effect could be pretty. My initial impressions are not all that high. I also did a Minnie Mouse and that did turn out nice, but even in Cricut's photos (seen below) I'm not a huge fan of the blendability. Maybe it's because I don't typically work in watercolor, but it just looks "meh" to me.





What are your thoughts? Let me know  in the comments below!


Have a great day,
