Coloring with Watercolors
I use watercolors quite a bit. I have an inexpensive set that I got from the local craft store and also a few in tubes that I got from the art store. For the most part I have a few "round" watercolor brushes in different sizes - a #6 for washes, #4 for adding detail washes and #00 for very fine details.
Below is an example of how I might watercolor an image. 
Step 1
Decide on base colors. Using water-downed colors add a wash to areas of your stamped image. I put a light wash of brown on Prissy Montgomery's hat, blue on her dress and pink bows on her shoes. 
Step 2
I go back in and start adding the details. I might use the same color and just cut back on the water or I might use a different color. I went back in and using more paint (less water) I added some shadow in on her dress, hat and shoes. Remember to leave light or white areas for interest. 
Step 3
I went back in with and added a few lines to her hat, some squiggles to her hair and some light teal to her dress. Sample cards using this method:
