12 Spring Watercolor Projects

Stuck on what to paint? Look no further than this roundup of 12 spring watercolor projects! Some might be in tutorial form while others might be a timelapse. Either way, I hope they’re inspirational and helpful for you! A few of them are even from my livestreams. Join my livestreams if you need a friend to paint with virtually and to connect with other artists.

While I use mostly watercolor in these projects, there might be an occasion where I use metallics, colored pencils, or gouache. Check out all of my favorite supplies here.

FLORALS

When in doubt, paint florals! Here are some floral projects that would look great on a greeting card, art print, and more.

BIRDS

I actually have a whole playlist on how I painted various birds and animals. But here are a few that are perfect for the Spring season.

WREATHS

Wreaths are perfect for any season because you can swap out certain elements to represent that season. For the Spring, you can use eggs, pastel colors, fruits, branches, and more.

HOLIDAY/OCCASION

Some of the major holidays or occasion this season are graduation and Mother’s Day. While I have several designs available in my shop, you can create your own, too!

Graduation

Mother’s Day

Can a simple dot by letter coloring book be a relaxing creative practice? This one by Grabie took me by surprise!  

I was quite impressed with how much I was able to relax with this book. I didn't suffer from decision paralysis, the activity took less than 45 minutes and I was so happy with the end result.

About me: 
Welcome to Audrey Ra Design! I'm a teaching artist based in the Chicagoland area. I share about my healing art journey and hope that you'll find joy and inspiration as you watch my videos.
It's a little late, but here's a recap of what my June 2026 looked like! I taught a ton of workshops, but didn't have the energy to film them all. Did some live painting at my local library. Visited the Pokemon fossil exhibit! And I also share a bit about why I've been a bit quiet here and on social media.

Hi creative friends! June is Adopt-a-Cat-Month and I've been putting out a tutorial since 2023 to bring awareness. 

This video features a fun watercolor painting session focusing on cat paws. Join me as I demonstrate how to paint these adorable kitty paw details using various watercolor techniques. We'll start with sketching the outlines and then add color, bringing these charming cat paws to life.
