Ladybug Watercolour Tutorial

If you’ve been wanting to paint but can’t seem to find the time — I get it. Life gets busy! This sweet little ladybug is the perfect quick project to squeeze in a bit of creative joy, even on a busy day.

Painted in a loose watercolour style, this tutorial can be completed in just 10–15 minutes. I’ve also created a downloadable traceable printout to make things easier if drawing isn’t your favourite part.

You can watch the tutorial on YouTube and download the printout below to paint along with me.
