Did you know that... World Watercolor Month is celebrated around the globe during July yearly? Art has always been a medium of expressing our most intimate thoughts and emotions. Mediums like paintings, crafting, sculpting have been around for centuries to give voice to human emotions. Watercolor painting is one of the most ancient forms of art and its popularity will not wane for a long time to come. The month is celebrated by amateurs, artists, and educators to support the art form and raise awareness and funds for arts education. It is also a big social media event! 

 Charlie O’Shields, the creator of Doodlewash® and host of the Sketching Stuff podcast, founded World Watercolor Month in 2016. He created a blog and social artist movement dedicated to promoting and bringing together the vast community of watercolor artists around the world. He started with a few art challenges, only to realize that even though the medium was widely loved, there weren’t any specific observances dedicated to it. An application to request the same was submitted and registrars agreed with the cause, and that’s how World Watercolor Month came to be.

Watercolor painting has a history going back many centuries with the earliest examples being paintings found on prehistoric cave walls. It is interesting to note how ancient creative expression is and its important role in human society. Since time immemorial, art has been responsible for bringing us together, inspiring us, and giving us hope during our toughest times. Needless to say, art has also played an important part in education. (https://nationaltoday.com/world-watercolor-month)

  To participate, just add #WorldWatercolorMonth and #WorldWatercolorMonth2022 whenever you post watercolors on social media during the month of July.
