Scarves are having a major moment
There’s something magical about slowing down, picking up a paintbrush, and letting color flow across the page. The watercolor sets from Emily Lex Studio makes it easy to tap into your creativity, whether you’re brand-new to painting or simply looking for a relaxing activity.
Inside, you’ll discover 12 beginner-friendly illustrations, each lightly sketched to guide your hand without taking away your creative freedom. The themes are as charming as they are varied — from birds and animals to fresh-baked treats, bouquets, and flowers. With step-by-step instructions and full-color examples to follow along, it’s a joyful blend of structure and imagination.
We love these sets so much at Carlisle & Co. that they became the highlight of our fall team-building activity. Our crew gathered virtually to paint, laugh, and compare our works-in-progress — proof that a little watercolor can spark a lot of connection.
Each set includes high-quality watercolor paper, a tin of paints, and a size 4 brush, all bound into 14 lay-flat pages for hassle-free painting. So brew a cozy cup of tea, spread out your paints, and get ready to turn blank pages into something truly special.
