Splash into Watercolor Month!

July is World Watercolor Month, which is the perfect time to pick up a paintbrush and let your imagination flow! Whether you’re an experienced artist or just curious to try something new, watercolor painting is a wonderfully relaxing and rewarding activity, especially for seniors.

Why Try Watercolors?

🎨 Easy to Start – Unlike oils or acrylics, you can get beautiful results without years of training.

✏️ Fast and Fun – Quick drying times and playful brushstrokes make it perfect for short creative sessions.

✨ Magically Imperfect – Happy little “accidents” can turn into beautiful surprises. Let the water do the work!

🚫 No Smudging – Unlike charcoal or pastels, watercolor stays neat once it dries.

⏱ Quick to Dry – You can finish and frame a piece in a single afternoon.

Tips to Get Started

• Try starting with wet paper and see how the colors move— it’s like watching art paint itself!
• Don’t be afraid to experiment. Watercolors are all about freedom and flow.
• Nervous about investing in supplies? Watercolor brush pens are a great, affordable alternative that offer vibrant results with less mess.

Whether you’re painting flowers, landscapes, or just enjoying the feel of color on paper, watercolor is a beautiful way to express yourself and stay creatively engaged. Go ahead and dip your brush in water and let your creativity splash!
