To use water based markers such as SU Stampin Write markers or Tim Holtz Distress Markers by Ranger is very easy, probably the easiest way to get a watercolor effect.
​Take your marker of choice and scribble a little onto a none porous surface, take an aqua brush (I use Pentel brushes because I like their nibs / brush ends) and lift some of the marker ink off the surface, the more you lift the darker the lay-down color. It is better to lift small amounts at a time and build the color intensity and that's about it.
If you want to do a wash, say to go around the image as I have, ensure that your image is completely dry or you will end up with bleeding then lightly wet the areas you wish to wash, spritz some of your marker ink to make it quite watery then lay the color down starting where you want it darkest, usually closest to the image then blend it out.
