Watercolor Tutorial: Jellyfish in a Jar

A long time ago, I made a jellyfish that I put in a jar, thus creating the jelly jar.

Crochet your own Jellyfish in a jar

It was a super fun project that I decided to translate into watercolor. There is a pattern for this.

My thought process had a mad scientist collecting specimens and placing them in jars on a shelf. However, they must be pretty. Hence the new watercolor tutorial – Jelly Jar.

This is a quick project done on 4 x 6 paper to make it a card. It also could be a sketch book exercise that you keep just for yourself. I love trying to make tutorials so you can have a completed project in less than an hour. I know I personally have been having trouble finding time to paint, so I wanted to provide a resource that allows you to get your art fix in but not need a ton of time. The colors are minimal, and you can change them up to any combination that floats your fancy. In the video, I talk about other ideas I had regarding the jelly jars, and I may try them in my sketch book.

I don’t have next week’s tutorial created yet, but I do have ideas.
