Calling all art enthusiasts and creative entrepreneurs! July brings not just sunshine and summer fun, but also World Watercolor Month, a vibrant celebration of this beloved artistic medium. Let's dive into the history, festivities, and, most importantly, the marketing potential this month holds for businesses.
A Brush with History: The Birth of World Watercolor Month
World Watercolor Month is a relatively young holiday, established in 2016. The credit goes to Charlie O'Shields, the creative mind behind Doodlewash®, who noticed a glaring omission in the art calendar – a dedicated month for watercolours. Through his efforts, July became forever synonymous with washes of colour and artistic expression.
A Celebration for All: How People Embrace World Watercolor Month
World Watercolor Month is a global phenomenon that transcends skill levels. From seasoned watercolorists to curious beginners, everyone participates in the festivities. Here's how:
The 31 Watercolours in 31 Days Challenge: This self-imposed challenge encourages artists to create a watercolour piece every day for the entire month. It's a fantastic way to hone skills, explore new techniques, and stay motivated.
Workshops and Classes: Art schools and studios capitalise on the month's energy by offering special workshops or introductory watercolour classes, perfect for igniting a passion for the medium.
Social Media Buzz: With the hashtag #WorldWatercolorMonth, social media explodes with artistic creations. Artists share their work, participate in online prompts, and connect with a global watercolour community.
