Tiny, Whimsical Sketches for World Watercolour Month 2025

The image is divided into four squares. In each square is a watercolour line and wash image, in a palette of pinky orange, red, yellow and indigo blue. The sketches are of, clockwise from top left, a stylised radiant sun for the "radient2 prompt, a cup of espresso for the "espresso " prompt, a cupcake overloaded with rippling cream nad a cherry for 2ripple2, and faded jeans over a washing line against a sunny yellow stone wall for "fade".

Hello there

Hope all's well and thriving in your corner of the world. And speaking of "world", it now being July (How? Already?!) it's World Watercolour Month, 2025.

What is "World Watercolour Month?

The idea behind World Watercolour Month is that it's a low-pressure challenge, involving optional daily prompts (usually meaning that people need to draw something random, and interestingly-outside-normal-comfort-zones).

This year, I decided at least to start off with the prompts, but to ease the pressure on myself in what is nearly-always a hyper-busy month in this house, by doing tiny two inch square sketches, and batching my uploads somewhat. This also has the happy result that innocent onlookers  don't get deluged with disparate images day after day.

But if you'd like to know more about World Watercolour Month,  as well as seeing *lots* more art from some great people, all the details are here.

That's all from here for now-and thank you, as ever, for reading down this far.

More soon.
