Watercolor Instagram Accounts | Painting in general is one of the forms of art that I enjoy the most. And, not because I'm good at it, but because it makes me disconnect from all my cyclical thoughts and my various anxieties during the little while I'm with the pencil or brush in hand or while I'm watching other people paint. One of the positive aspects that I take from social networks (although it costs me) is that they allow me to learn from people who know more than me about any subject.
And, for that, I have to admit that I spend many minutes a day just looking at watercolor Instagram accounts, to de-stress or to envy other people's talent, I don't know.
If it happens to you like me, today, I am going to list the accounts that I like the most. Not all of them are from Spain, but in these cases the language does not matter. So take note:
My 9 Favorite Watercolor Instagram Accounts
@Polina.bright
Without a doubt, in terms of portraits, my favorite. 1 million followers (and counting). This Australian girl who has her own website where she shows and sells her work, watercolor kits and professional brushes.
In his networks he shows the creation process, from the pencil sketch to the completion with watercolors. This allows you to see how he has done and be able to follow his steps.

Laura is a teacher, but she defines herself as "crazy about watercolors". She may not be the best watercolorist in the world, but on her Instagram you will be entertained. She does raffles, recommends books and tutorials on this subject, answers questions from followers and advises on how to get started and what courses to take. If your intention is to train and inform yourself about painting, I recommend this account.

With 21.700 followers, this account is dedicated to posting artwork by others, creating a huge collection of artwork from people all over the world. The good thing is that he mentions them and you can go to his profile. It is true that not all the publications are about watercolors, but a part of them is. Likewise, if what you are looking for is inspiration to make your own drawings (which is what I use it for) it is perfect. You will find ideas of all kinds.

Hashtag to find watercolors
Another way to find watercolor drawings on Instagram is by searching by hashtag. And, a trick that I learned a few months ago (and that I dedicate myself “to the Internet”), is that you can FOLLOW these hashtags, so that they appear in your feed without having to search for them every day.
#Watercolor
#watercolors
#watercolorpainting
#watercolours
#aquarelle
#watercolorist
And, in general, everything that has to do with watercolor or watercolor (in English). You can search, for example, #watercolorlandscape, if you are looking for landscapes. Or #watercolorflowers if you want flowers.
