Super Easy Watercolor Portraits

A while ago I pinned a super cool looking watercolor portrait tutorial.  Recently I noticed that Kristin Dudish had tried it out with great results.  So, I decided to try it out too!

I put mine in frames and I love how they look all together!

Here's a peek at each one by itself:

I gave the first three to my Mom for Mother's Day…

…and the last one to my friend, Riv (who is in the photo with me).  And yes, they both loved them!  :)

Give the tutorial a try and see for yourself how very easy it is!

Thanks for stopping by!
