10 Year Celebration World Watercolor Month July 2025

July 1, 2025

July 2025 marks the 10th Anniversary of World Watercolor Month! WWM was started by illustrator Charlie O’Shields and is an opportunity for artists worldwide to celebrate painting in watercolors and helping artists find others in our flourishing community. 🥳

Each year Charlie O’Shields publishes a Prompt list for every day of the month of July with words set to ignite our collective imagination. As artists, we are challenged to use watercolors, gouache and other water-media (although ANY painting medium of expression will work) to interpret the prompt word in a painting of our choice. 🖼️

The 2025 prompt list along with instructions to help you follow along can be found on the World Watercolor Month website link below. I encourage you to visit the website also to learn about the founder Charlie and the incredible charity element with Sponsors and Shop items for sale to benefit the International Child Art Foundation.

https://worldwatercolormonth.com/prompts/

I see following along with these prompts as an opportunity to challenge myself to stay on task and expand my watercolor techniques and portfolio. 🧑‍🎨

The more we practice, the more we learn, so I hope you will take this month of July 2025 to expand your knowledge of watercolors or gouache painting and follow along as best you can.🎨

If you want to follow along with my journey making a painting a day throughout the month of July 2025, you will find my latest artworks below, so check back to this article often to see the new pieces added weekly. 😍
