VIDEO: Layered Watercolor Oak & Acorn Art
This Layered Watercolor Oak & Acorn Art is fourth in the Autumn Colors Craft Summit we have going on from October 16-20. This is our second layered watercolor piece, and it uses the same techniques as the Mirabelle Plum Art project from this past summer. If you enjoyed that craft, then we know you’ll fall in love with this one. The subjects of this piece are emblematic of fall and the harvest and will serve beautifully as simple wall decor for the season.
Once you’ve gathered your tools and materials for this project, you can tune into the live video workshop on October 19 at 12 p.m. PT. While you can definitely cut your pieces by hand, we recommend a cutting machine for both ease and speed.
This video is for members only.

In keeping with this series’ theme, we chose this piece for its beautiful fall colors. True, autumn brings to mind burnished coppers, reds, and golds — but we can’t leave out all the rustic greens and browns the season brings as well. I love how simple our layered papercut projects are, and this piece is no exception. Once everything is painted and cut, it’s very easy to put together.
We chose watercolor as our medium because it looks beautiful and lends itself really well to a project like this. Don’t worry if some of your colors blend together or your painting isn’t exactly precise — let it be wild and organic — just as nature intended.
I think this layered watercolor oak and acorn art would be picture-perfect as an accent piece in your kitchen or breakfast nook, but it really fits in just about anywhere. Show us your masterpiece in our crafters’ community or share it with the world on Instagram. Be sure to tag us with the hashtag #MadeWithLia.

Leave a CommentI wonder if you could help? I am unable to upload the svg file to my Cricut Maker. Ip
I have successfully made the cherry blossom and mirabelle layered watercolours and had no problem with sending them to my Cricut.
I absolutely love these pictures and I’m keen to complete the set.
Thank you
I think we fixed the issue. Give it another try. 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m really looking forward to making it.
Enjoy!
I finished my art piece – I am very happy with it. It was so much fun. Thank you Emily, I hope you will do more for us soon.
Wonderful! Share photos on our community page!
I’m reading in the comments winter and spring versions are, perhaps, coming? I like these! A fun, light departure from 3-D paper and felt for a minute.
Yes! They are coming. I love these pieces too. 🙂
I’m still trying to get used to condensed downloads.
Hopefully, very soon you will find it easier. 🙂
I looove these layered watercolor art pieces! It makes my mediocre watercolor skills look so much better. 🙂 Please continue to add these projects!
Right!?! More coming!
Also, I can’t wait for the winter and spring versions! Yay!
Me too!!
This looks like a lot of fun! Someone mentioned appreciating the versatility of your projects and I totally agree. It’s great to learn new skills, thank you!
As a creative, I love to try all different mediums! And I am so happy you do too. 🙂
What is the suggestion made by a watcher? Couldn’t understand? One of Emily’s favorites?
She asked us to make Hellebore flowers for the winter version. 🙂
Yes please!
