Watercolor Instagram Accounts | Painting, in general, is one of the art forms I enjoy most. And not because I'm good at it, but because it allows me to disconnect from all my recurring thoughts and various anxieties for the short time I have a pencil or brush in my hand, or while I'm watching other people paint. One of the positive aspects I get from social media (even though it's difficult for me) is that it allows me to learn from people who know more than I do about any subject.

And, for that, I have to admit that I spend many minutes a day just looking at watercolor Instagram accounts, to de-stress or to envy other people's talent, I don't know.

If it happens to you like me, today, I am going to list the accounts that I like the most. Not all of them are from Spain, but in these cases the language does not matter. So take note:

My 9 Favorite Watercolor Instagram Accounts

@Polina.bright

Without a doubt, in terms of portraits, my favorite. 1 million followers (and counting). This Australian girl who has her own website where she shows and sells her work, watercolor kits and professional brushes.

In his networks he shows the creation process, from the pencil sketch to the completion with watercolors. This allows you to see how he has done and be able to follow his steps.

@aguayacuarela

Laura is a teacher, but she describes herself as a "watercolor fanatic." She may not be the best watercolorist in the world, but you'll find plenty to enjoy on her Instagram. She holds giveaways, recommends books and tutorials on the subject, answers followers' questions, and offers advice on getting started and what courses to take. If you're looking to learn more about painting, I recommend this account. You can find some interesting tips on the characteristics of paint.

@lettering.lena

When I think of watercolor, the first thing that comes to mind is the kind of drawings Lena does. Simple, beautiful, depicting everyday objects and situations. The classic watercolor blogger. She also does lettering, although you don't see much of it on her account. An excellent way to get inspired by the work of famous painters.

@thepalepaper

If you're obsessed with planners, bullet journals, pencil cases overflowing with colorful markers, organization, and you also love watercolor painting, you absolutely have to follow this account. She creates custom watercolor planners, and that's not all. You might also find it interesting to check out her article on still life to see how these techniques are applied in other contexts.

@bj00100

Ko Byung Jun is a Korean artist specializing in watercolors and illustration. He fuses the two techniques, creating stunning portraits that can inspire you to learn more about Romantic-era paintings.

@a.aradilla

Alicia Aradilla travels the world with her blog, creating compositions of her favorite places. She offers online workshops. This account is worth following because it also showcases various techniques that can be applied to skin painting.

@juanlhara_watercolor

This man from Córdoba paints cityscapes wherever he goes. He also offers online classes where you can learn about printing in Spain and watercolor techniques.

@Fischer_art

Edda B. Fischer is a German artist who uses collage to create human forms, usually somewhat abstract. Although acrylic is her primary medium, she also uses watercolor in some of her works. To better understand her style, you might want to read about the works of Andy Warhol , who also explored visual art in innovative ways.

@Artworks_post

With 21.700 followers, this account is dedicated to publishing the artwork of others, creating a large collection of pieces from people all over the world. The great thing is that it mentions the artists, and you can visit their profiles. It's true that not all the posts are watercolors, but a significant portion are. Likewise, if you're looking for inspiration to create your own drawings (which is what I use it for), it's perfect. You can also discover other techniques in the article on expressionism.

Hashtag to find watercolors

Another way to find watercolor drawings on Instagram is by searching by hashtag. And a trick I learned a few months ago (even though I work online!), is that you can FOLLOW these hashtags so they appear in your feed without having to search for them every day.

#Watercolor

#watercolors

#watercolorpainting

#watercolours

#aquarelle

#watercolorist

And, in general, everything that has to do with watercolor or watercolor (in English). You can search, for example, #watercolorlandscape, if you are looking for landscapes. Or #watercolorflowers if you want flowers.

Let's draw! You can find more information about this in The Night Watch , which is a fascinating technique.
