World Watercolour Month and my 50th monthly painting series!

Written By Kerrie Woodhouse

This is my 50th monthly painting series.

(I can’t quite believe that I just wrote that sentence!)

And quite serendipitously it just happened to be World Watercolour Month. I couldn’t think of a better way of celebrating my 50th monthly series than painting 31 paintings in 31 days alongside a myriad of other watercolour enthusiasts.

Want to see me painting them?

Scroll down below the gallery and I’ll show you… 😉

Painting 31 paintings in 31 days is quite a challenge. I decided to record them all too - so it has been a busy month! Want to see?

World Watercolour Month runs every July and has been going for quite a few years now. It is one of the friendliest challenges I know of. Ok, I am biased on account of the watercolour, but what I mean is that it is open to everyone. You can do all of the days, or just some of the days. There are prompts for each day, but you don’t have to follow them. You can join by painting, or just follow and support artists who are participating.

So not too many excuses for not joining in one way or another!

The Magic of Granulating Watercolour Paints: My Top 3 Colours That Paint Themselves

If you're looking for watercolour paints that create stunning texture and depth with minimal effort, granulating pigments might just become your new obsession. These special watercolour paints separate and react with water to create multiple colours and beautiful granulated effects from a single tube—they practically paint themselves.

Want an easy way to turn an ordinary painting into something a bit special?

Granulating colours might be the perfect solution!
