If you have been around for a while, you may have noticed that I love the use of watercolor in my bullet journal layouts. I use both paint and pen as well as brush pens. This unique form of paint can be used in so many different ways to enhance your planning spread. If you have never used watercolor before, I highly recommend you give it a shot. Here are 30 bullet journal layouts that use watercolor fearlessly!
Hello November by
@paperboat.pirate
This layout is super fun because of the use of a fun font in addition to the splatter effect of the paint. Also, I just love the way watercolor moves on its own and creates such unique patterns and shapes.
One
Word per Day by @bujo.by.anouk
I love "one word per day" layouts because they are really whatever you make them. Further, this one used washi tape to leave white spaces in the paint to write in words. This is such an amazing idea.
Hello Oktober by @contracrastination
The blending in this layout is gorgeous and such a great way to bring in a new month! Also, the lettering is beautiful.
Watercolor

Here is a beautiful art page. Further, I love a good art page added to a bullet journal planner.
Lecture
Notes by @french_dreamer_life_lover
This layout just goes to show you that watercolors can be used in any type of page, even lecture notes! Additionally, the doodling and lettering are beautiful.
Hello June Splattered Watercolor by @lacqueredworld
I love this splattered effect in this spread. Further, you can do so many things using watercolor paint, and the splattered effect one of the easiest ways to implement it.
Watercolor Trees by
@thepalepaper
This isn't a bullet journal spread per-say. However, I've included it because it's a neat tutorial for creating fall trees in watercolor. Additionally, it gives you a basic idea of how this painting style works!

I love this bright and colorful watercolor effect! Additionally, I would like to know what they used to get such clean lines in the weekly spaces!
Affirmations
and Memories by LittleCoffeeFox
Another aspect that I love about watercoloring is when the watercoloring is behind the text. This layout is not finished yet, but, I can imagine how great it will look once the text is added!

The pink used in this layout is gorgeous and the lines are so clean! I would love to learn how this look was achieved, I assume a stencil.

Similar to the next layout, watercolor is really great behind headers, this layout uses a variety of colors and patterns to show off the paint's plethora of uses.
