Watercolour World Map

Hi Again!

Today’s DIY is so simple to make and will brighten up any room. I highly suggest giving your work area or bedside table with this simple watercolour artwork.

Inspiration:

The inspiration for this DIY is wander lust - the desire to explore the world. What’s more mysterious median than watercolours to evoke the feelings of wonder and exploration when painting a world map?

What you’ll need:

Watercolour paints
A3 paper with a thick grain
Pencil
Paint brush
Jar of water
Picture of the world map (I used one from an Atlas)
Tissues

What you’ll need to do:

Lightly trace the image of the world map onto the A3 piece of paper.
Start painting in little sections. Apply water to the first section, this will help when blending the colours. Begin painting with your lightest selected colour. The blend in the next lightest shade and so on.
Continue this process with the rest of the map, section be section.
After all the sections of the map is painted flick droplets onto the paper. Then place large watery droplets of paint randomly on the paper and tip vertically. Lastly using a tissue smudge around the edges of the paper.

Tahhh Dahhh you’re done!!
