Enjoy 1000+ free relaxing watercolor tutorials
Welcome to my Studio!
I’m so glad you found me. Let’s embark on a watercolor journey together…




Join us as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of World Watercolor Month this July!
World Watercolor Month was founded in 2016 by Charlie O’Shields to inspire creativity and raise awareness of the importance of art education. Charlie worked hard to get July officially recognised as World Watercolor Month, and every year he continues work hard to bring this celebration of watercolor to the world. I am proud to be an Artist Ambassador and to offer a souvenir mug and pouch each year to support the International Child Art Foundation.
31 Watercolors in 31 Days
At the heart of World Watercolor Month is the challenge to paint 31 watercolors in 31 days. Every July we join the challenge, and this year we have created an exciting version of the daily prompt sheet which combines the official prompt with a color and an idea for inspiration and exploration.
