Chalk Couture Watercolour
This works on any surface, I have even seen some people use Chalk Couture ink and water color on fabric. However, for today’s project I picked a flat canvas. I am absolutely in love with these Boho flowers and wanted to create a collection with all the flowers.

Chalk Couture Watercolor steps
So here are the steps to creating a Chalk Couture watercolour of your own.
- Choose a transfer to use. We have a few transfers that work beautifully for this technique. The Boho flowers work nicely as does the Lotus flower and the Namaste elephant. I am certain you will find something that you love just go over and take a peek online.
- Next you will want to get all your supplies ready and set out. I have included a list of material above.
- Now you are ready to start. Because I am using a canvas and a transfer that has been used a couple times I did not need to fuzz my transfer. However, this is an important step before you start on other surfaces. You can learn more about fuzzing a transfer here.
- Now place your transfer on your canvas in your desired position.
- Spread a thin layer of chalk paste. I prefer to use a lighter coloured chalk paste for this step but you can really use whatever colors you have on hand.
- Peel up your transfer to reveal the outline
- At this point you should have a nice outline of your project. Now we can mix the Chalk Couture watercolour. Choose your chalk paste colors and place a small dab of each colour into individual containers. I like to use the Chalk Couture Colour trays they are the perfect size and super easy to clean a store for next time. Now add just a small spritz of water to each tray. You want to water your chalk paste down until looks like coloured water.
- Take a paint brush and paint in each space on picture. Once you are finished the entire picture let it dry really well. If you are impatient like me use a blow dryer and lightly blow dry the whole thing.
- Here is the best part! By now you will have a somewhat nice looking picture, so lay the transfer back over your project and spread black chalk paste over it. Peel up the transfer and admire your beautiful Chalk Couture watercolour.
I am always so amazed when I pull up that transfer. Every time! It never fails to impress me when I create anything with Chalk Couture products. It seems to turn out beautifully each and every time!
