Tiny, Whimsical Sketches for World Watercolour Month 2025

Sketches for the start of "World 
Watercolour Month 2025"
in pen and Derwent Inktense
watercolours.

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.

Pelargoniums (A Wet-Into-Wet Experiment for Day 22)

 

These pelargoniums are a mile stone for me. Have never "let go" and intentionally done "wet into wet ," watecolour happen after the penwork is done.

 (Translation if you're not arty: I've always been very controlled, painting on dry paper, and have only today intentionally changed that, just wetting areas of the paper, adding spots of colour, and letting them flow where they will).

At the moment it's "work in progress" because am not sure whether it'll end up as a pattern, a card, or something else. 

Let's see where this goes...

More tomorrow.

PS. Unusually, this developed into a pattern pretty quickly. Will let you know if/when it finds its way onto items etc.
