A Showcase of Watercolor in Web Design

Excellent examples. Thanks for the inspiring roundup

These are beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Brilliant collection! Amazing examples! thanks for sharing

We just recently launched our site with some watercolor. Perfect timing.

Really nice to see how web pages (early ’90) evolve from clunky/squared/blinking/ugly designs into a piece of art. Great examples. Thanks for sharing.

Ah look, you forgot http://www.pasikeitimai.lt!

Great post. Excellent designs. i like so much this examples…inspire me and my work! Really creative! Thanks for sharing!

I saw this page (http://www.re-winder.com/) on a recent blog post (http://designm.ag/inspiration/attention-to-detail/) that was a tweet of the week.

I agree with the blogs description: “The watercolor effect at the top or Re-Winder has a big impact on the overall look of the site.”

Nice collection, I have been seeing more and more traditional media elements creeping into web design over the past few months. A welcome relief from the 2.0 shiny logo era.

Watercolour is becoming one of my favourite trends. It looks really nice when done nicely as shown here.

Design-trend articles, grr; however, there’s some nice design here. But why does using watercolor make sense for the majority of these brands? Exactly, it doesn’t. It’s not design, it’s style.

Water color is good … I used it on the background in my last project.

A very famous international project now a days… Aman Ki Asha ‘Destination Peace’: A commitment by the Jang Group, GEO and The Times of India Group to create an enabling environment that brings the people of Pakistan and India closer together, contributing to genuine and durable peace with honour between our countries.

Water color is really looking very natural and fabulous, What a ravishing work has been done. Thanks for sharing it.

Those are some nice exemples of water-color web design. Thanks!

Fantastic stuff – thanks for the inspiration. I’d love to know which of the examples above were designed entirely digitally and which ones actually started off with a paintbrush and some watercolour paints. It’s so hard to tell nowadays.

Nice collection. Got to love the flow of these water color effects.

Some nice examples… but http://thecroquis.com/ reminds me of http://bigcartel.com/!

Not only great designs, but I’m lovin the model on the architect’s website..

Woaaa…stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing…

I really love the watercolor look and feel. It’s soft and when beautiful colors are used the effect is very eye catching. Thanks for the collection.

Those are really neat designs, thanks for the round up.

I do very much enjoy seeing more creative and illustrative work coming into the current web design trends, but I can see some of these designs becoming overbearing, unusable and overly complex. It can be great to have a fantastically visual impact on the user, but I still think that many of the sites here are overdoing it for the sake of it. Perhaps their focus is on that visual impact, and making a statement with their site. But for me at least the amount of information that I consume on a daily basis via the internet and other connect digital media means that a leaner, cleaner and more streamlined experience will give me less frustration and thus a better user experience. I can’t imagine trying to navigate these sites on a phone, if they didn’t provide a mobile specific site.

Great collection. Thanks!

great post. Thank you!

It looks really nice,thank you for this.

My favorite is the Agami Creative. Great collection!

Nice collection. We also used the water colour effect on a recent project: http://www.amarulatrust.com. You are more than welcome to feature it in this post.

very beautiful and inspiring examples here.

My favorites are the Croquis (nice mix of minimal and playful), Agami (great use of colors and textures), and Sergio (stunning use of color and contrast).

Keep it on!

Wow those are some really nice sites that feature a watercolor effect.

Great collection; one more I’d like to add: http://rosiebrownrn.com/

Billy Hughes is spectacular, I absolutely the the mix of digital with traditional!

I have a water color background on my twitter that I had an artist do for me:

Designs are awesome !!, Great Work..

Really good post. Reminds me of time when I had designed one with abstract flowing colors in the header, though I had painted it with acrylic colors. Keep the momentum.

Very good example, thank you for sharing and the watercolor effect is Amazing.

Amazing works and very creative mixing the watercolor effect to the graphic. Thanks
