Last week we posted a big collection of photoshop brushes for creating watercolor and other painted effects. These brushes will make your life easier when applying a watercolor style to a design, but you probably want to start by getting some inspiration and seeing how this particular style should be done. In this post I’m showing you, what I believe, are the best examples of using watercolor in web design.

Interesting collection 🙂
I don’t see WebDesignerWall as a site of WaterColors because it is all made up of florals?
But other sites are great.
I think these are some of the most beautiful examples of webdesign out there. IMHO
Nice post! Another awesome site is https://darkmotion.com/
dont forget my friend chris with his masterpiece of creativity over @ farfromfearless.com
youll love it
Also worth mentioning is the great work of Kevin Cornell on alistapart.com
Great collection. Thanks for the include. (electric pulp)
I love the Form and function website. Flawless.
Nice collection
got to love the watercolors, if its not over used, it can look stunning! WDW still makes my jaw drop!
very cool. Our designers are loving this style, we expect it to be a huge trend
The watercolors look amazingly grungy online. Strange because in real life watercolors look more serene.
Great post.

The great thing about watercolor in design is that it has an organic feel. It’s a refreshing break from the standard ‘wired’ glossy look. Thanks publishing. love the corvus site.
Really lovely collection! The use of watercolor is something is still fairly uncommon (from what I have seen anyway). What a wonderful way to soften the inherently tech-y nature of a website! Thanks for sharing these examples…inspiring indeed!

Very nice selection of water colour websites. How long does it take you to find such a collection? I have used this effect in posters but not a website yet as I have not had the right cliental to do it for yet.
