Celebrate World Watercolor Month
July 1 - 31, 2024
World Watercolor Month is an annual global event where people paint every day in watercolor. Pick up that brush and immerse yourself in the joy of painting! All can participate, even if you are a beginner. Challenge yourself to paint every day, or simply paint when you can. It’s about establishing a regular practice of painting and having fun!
When: July 1 - July 31
What: Every day in July, paint something in watercolor or gouache. It could be anything - a full painting, a study, or just some splashes of color on paper.
Share! Each day, share your painting with us and on your favorite social media platforms using #WorldWatercolorMonth. and #rebeccarhodesart. Repeat every day in July (or as many days as you can.)

Rebecca Rhodes is honored to be a World Watercolor Month Artist Ambassador, and has pledged to donate a portion of each purchased course in this school during the month of July to the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) which employs the universal language of art to cultivate schoolchildren’s creativity to prepare them for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and develop mutual empathy for a peaceful future. In addition, she has donated art for limited edition souvenir products where all proceeds go to ICAF.
