You’ll find that it becomes easier and faster with repeated use.īelieve it or not, this watercolor-look image was created using an app on my phone – there are watercolor effect apps available for both I Phone and android users. Simply follow each step and you’ll see what I mean. I’ll go ahead and warn you that this is a long post and the steps may seem complicated, BUT I promise you it’s a very easy process. I’m going to show you all the way from taking the initial photo to turning it into a piece of art for your wall.

But – many of you asked me to show you how you can create a watercolor portrait of your home, so I’m happy to share this tutorial with you (even though I’m not a true watercolor artist). Well, maybe I can use my kindergarten paint set and make a mess of a picture in a coloring book, but that’s about it. Here’s the funny thing – when it comes to watercolors, I can’t paint a single stroke. When I created it, I added a little sentiment to it and I just love it hanging right there to greet anyone arriving or leaving. If you saw the final before and after reveal of my foyer makeover, then you’ve already seen my DIY watercolor portrait of the exterior of our house that is hanging right beside our front door. A framed image of your home makes a beautiful statement hanging on the wall and makes a great housewarming gift too!
