World Watercolor Month 2024 is HERE | Final Installment

If this is your first World Watercolor Month or if you're a seasoned participant, the month of July is all about watercolor and bringing the magical creative gifts of art to children throughout the world!
Join me as I talk about my personal reasons for participating in #worldwatercolormonth every year, and check out how I'm approaching the prompts this year. Hopefully, my "new method" will still allow me to have plenty of time OUT of the studio, absorbing all that great July summer fun!

I just loved the way you added the prompts together to make a mini story. I especially like the 25-31 of July. Thank you for sharing.😊

[@artonthecreek]

Thanks JoAnne! Glad you enjoyed this little series!

I love how you incorporated everything together into one picture. I also used one page for multiple doodles/paintings. It’s interesting seeing them ‘all’ (the ones I’ve done so far) all together. Nice that you’re using a fountain pen! It really works to pull everything together. 😊

[@artonthecreek]

Hello! Thank you💕 This is the first year I’ve painted the prompts as little bits together as a collage…and I loved it! It’s also the first year WWM hasn’t overwhelmed me-somehow it was easier to tackle each day knowing I only had to paint something small. It was fun to kind of overlap them, too! My fountain pen is my favorite pen of all time-a Shaeffer Lifetime from the 40s or 50s that belonged to my mom. I have several, but this one is special 🩵

Excellent! Yep, just posted #31 -Shell. A little snail. Was going to do our famous blue crab (Maryland) opted for the snail. An accompaniment to do all 31, definitely fun. 😊

[@artonthecreek]

Thank you! I didn’t know you were in MD! My eldest & his family are there! I bet your snail is so cute ☺️ 🩷

I missed this somehow 🤷‍♀️ My blipping brain cell is very annoying as this was an extremely enjoyable video, not only were your paintings sit beautifully together, but I love that your own multi-called brain decided to finish in the most fun paintings of the month! I always enjoy your chats, as you know, but when you put that music on, I felt myself sink into my bed in utter relaxation. Was I hearing things, or was it a mash up of that beautiful rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, but without the wonderful, and very sadly now dead singer? I think it was the guitar that did it. Anyway, that version, along with Eva Cassidy’s, yet another gone before their time, are very close to my heart for a multitude of reasons. And so my lovely friend, not only did you yet again produce a feast for my eyes, but also for my ear - your words, and your chosen music… Definitely my favourite grouping of the month. 👩🏻‍🎨🎨🖌️💜💜💜

[@artonthecreek]

Oh that fills my heart. Thank you so much my dear, dear friend!!

Cow jumping over the moon? “When pigs fly” isn’t good enough anymore? 😂

[@artonthecreek]

Hahahhaa I was thinking more of the nursery rhyme & how the cow cleared the obstacle with ease by jumping over the moon!😂😂

[@anitadavidson1266]

@awatercolourist you do make me snort with held back laughter in the most unladylike manner AW. No regrets… 😇

[@awatercolourist]

@@artonthecreek I must have missed that one. I don’t ever recall that from my nursery days. I’ll go look it up.

[@awatercolourist]

For those of you who are interested, Wikipedia gives two versions of this nursery rhyme: Hey diddle diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, The Cow jump'd over the Moon, The little dog laugh'd to see such Craft, And the Fork ran away with the Spoon. And Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.
