Why buy when you can DIY? Try this this easy watercolor project, and make some beautiful pieces to hang on your walls. For this project, I used these super useful water resistant pens. There are many brands to choose from, but for this particular project I used the Zig Millennium Markers.

I started off with this geometric doodles. First, a few straight lines. Then, in one go, curves all around.

I used watercolor paint to fill in each section with a different color.

This particular one reminded me of a treble. I really like how the colors just go together.

One of our activities in Japan was called Art Gallery Curator. Inspired by a quiz on Buzzfeed, we made students choose which paintings they considered most valuable. Among the real works of art, we included a couple of these.

Try making some pieces of your own, and tag @mikkomix on your photos so I can see what you come up with!
