- 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 love seeing you at work, and hearing your thoughts on interpreting the prompts!
Hi Sandra! Thank you so much! Welcome to Art in the Creek and I’m so happy you enjoyed this!👩🏻🎨🎨💜
Brilliant!!!
lol thank you!! These prompts are really making me dig deep in the old cranium idea file this year! 🤔🫣
Nurturing creativity in kids is a great cause. I was fortunate to have several older siblings who were into art, so I wasn't discouraged from drawing. Plus I got to observe firsthand. Cool challenge and I really like your take on the prompts. 👍 Hang loose!
That’s awesome, Irene! You had some very wonderful people fostering your creativity. A huge gift! I especially thank you for sharing your gifts 🥰🥰
I really like the collage layout style. Your interpretation of Rush made me smile, as did the marine flags spelling a-r-t.
Thanks, Deann! I’m glad you enjoyed this 🩵👩🏻🎨🎨
I've tried WWM for the last few years, but usually only get halfway through the month. This year I made a 2 x 2 accordian sketchbook. So far so good.
Tfs.
Yes! Small bites! Life ALWAYS gets in the way of what I’m doing. Dang it! 😂🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I love your 2x2 accordion sketchbook idea! Makes the whole challenge so much more manageable! Good luck and have lots of fun with it!❤️
I’ve already painted one, rusty. I’m thinking of painting serenity next.
Nice! These prompts are a mental puzzle for me this year😂 One of my favorite things about WWM is seeing how every artist interprets the prompts differently! Have a great painting month, AW!🫶🏼
@@artonthecreek Same to you!
@@awatercolourist 😄😄
This was great fun Ann. I saw these paintings on Instagram, and (this will make you snigger), I did wonder what the prompt rush had to do with John Lennon 😂😂😂 Aaand…now I know - nothing! Never heard of the band, and if you are not a fan, I am highly unlikely to be so either 🤷♀️
What a fabulous idea putting several together as vignettes, it sort of takes a little of the pressure off pressuring yourself into coming up with a daily masterpiece, or even a single masterpiece in my case. I love the prompts and look forward to seeing many mini masterpieces this month from around the world. I make no promises, as I am in no mood to disappoint myself when I inevitably fail to post, or for that matter paint a single thing. I do like your idea of scanning the list for a prompt that appeals, as that may be doable! Happy Busy (umm, I mean World) Watercolour Month my friend!! 👩🏻🎨🖌️🎨🥰. PS - That’s a cool edition to the comments: Top, Members and Newest. Is that an option you switched on, or just a normal UA-cam improvement?
Well….if I switched it on it is unbeknownst to me! 😂🤷🏻♀️
I can’t remember if I mentioned it on the video but yes I thought John Lennon came out of my brush as well. Turns out Geddy Lee is Canadian (I think). I really never liked Rush. Still don’t. My apologies to all Rush fans! We have many jokes here in the US about a Rush concert being full of boys and maybe 1 or 2 girls😄
I just thought he sounded like a fly. Particularly the one from Jeff Goldblum’s The Fly. Nope, not for me! 😂😂😂😂
Thanks, Anita! I’m glad this gave you a chuckle and hopefully WWM will end up with another 31 paintings in this journal! Ya never know…..
Enjoy the show, and enjoy seeing everyone’s interpretations!! 😘☺️

First 4 down but I do tend to do them in whatever order I want ... or as you, sketch & paint later. I also thought of the group RUSH (Dreamline)😅 but I went with some people rushing to catch a bus ... and I rushed to do it 5 min painting. 👍
Ha! I live that you rushed “rush!” Perfect!
Ok-is Dreamline an album of theirs?
Hope you keep having fun with the prompts and have a great World Watercolor Month!!
@@artonthecreekDreamline is a song from their Roll the Bones CD. I was just going to do the CD cover, it's easy. 😊
@UJB123 very cool! Thank you!!
I’m first 😁
Woot woot!!!!
Let’s see…in honor of Independence Day, your reward today is:
🎆🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇🎇
😄😄😄
@@artonthecreek Why thank you, but I’m not American. 😄
@awatercolourist Ah, but I am☺️ I am extending today’s celebration to you🫶🏼
@@artonthecreek Thanks 👋🏼
Does it count as strong as we're painting things other than the prompts I'm working on landscapes
