Watercolor Love Letters & Doodle Valentines

Watercolor Wednesday #8

When I was little, my grandparents sent me handwritten letters, always sealed with a heart-shaped sticker. I lived for those letters. They felt like tiny treasures—proof that someone was thinking about me, that love could be tucked inside an envelope and sent through the mail.

In a world of quick texts and emails, there’s something special about a handwritten note. This week, we’re bringing that old-world romance into our art with watercolor love letters—soft, vintage-inspired envelopes, delicate florals, and a hint of nostalgia.

And because it’s Valentine’s season, we’ll add some playful Valentine’s Day doodles with cute, hand-lettered messages to sprinkle extra love into your art.

We’re painting a dreamy, vintage love letter scene—an envelope with soft watercolor edges, scattered rose petals, and a dainty wax seal. But we’re also adding a fun twist! We'll create mini Valentine's doodles—tiny hearts, love notes, and whimsical hand-lettered words to use as stickers, tags, or cute extras in your journal.

Perfect for sending a little handmade love this Valentine’s Day!
