    Learn More About Watercolor Paintings

    With their soft, ethereal appearance, watercolor paintings make it easy to bring a delicate splash of color and unique imagery to your space. These popular paintings are created specifically with watercolor paints to create an awe-inspiring image filled with gentle color, and artists on Etsy make them in an array of styles.


    When choosing a watercolor painting for your home, look for a painting that inspires you, complements your current decor, and adds visual interest to your favorite rooms. Look for ready-made artwork or commission your own custom painting from talented Etsy artists.


    Whether you’re interested in complex or simple watercolor paintings, many artists on Etsy offer their work in various sizes. Large paintings look dramatic when hung above a sofa or fireplace, while smaller paintings add a fun pop to a display shelf or gallery wall. The artwork may be painted onto a canvas or thick art paper, depending on the artist’s choice. Most canvas paintings don’t need to be framed, while watercolor on paper tends to look more polished with a stylish frame around it.

    From custom watercolor paintings of flowers to digital downloads of watercolor prints you can print and frame on your own, here are some popular watercolor painting types available from Etsy sellers to consider:


    • Abstract watercolor paintings: These paintings feature geometric shapes, blots, or lines in a completely abstract style that adds a modern, artful element to your home. Look for a painting in calming hues like a dreamy blue or organic green to bring a sense of tranquility to any space.
    • Watercolor landscape painting: From a classic beach watercolor painting to a majestic mountain painting, landscapes add a natural touch to your art collection. A lovely gradient sunset watercolor painting adds a touch of color to a living room, kitchen, or bathroom.
    • Watercolor animal paintings: Whether it’s an adorable dog watercolor painting or an image of an exotic bird, watercolor animal paintings are popular for nature lovers. Some shops on Etsy even offer custom watercolor pet portraits, which make great gifts for pet owners.
    • Floral watercolor paintings: A hand-painted image of a colorful flower lends organic beauty to any room. Order a custom watercolor painting of your wedding bouquet from Etsy sellers to bring a gorgeous, sentimental work of art into your home.
    • Watercolor portraits: Custom portraits add tons of personality to your space. Choose a beautiful family portrait, a cute couples portrait, or even a custom watercolor house portrait.
    • Digital watercolor prints: Get the look of a watercolor painting with a digital print that you can print and frame at home in a custom size.
