Paint Your Way Through World Watercolor Month with DANIEL SMITH!
Every July, artists around the world celebrate World Watercolor Month, hosted by our friends at Doodlewash®. With 31 daily painting prompts, it’s a wonderful way to explore new subjects, strengthen your watercolor skills, and stay inspired throughout the month.
If you missed joining us last year, this is your year to paint the world in watercolor—one painting a day for the next 31 days. Whether you complete every prompt or paint at your own pace, every brushstroke is an opportunity to learn, experiment, and celebrate the joy of watercolor.
As an official sponsor, DANIEL SMITH is excited to continue a tradition we started last year. In 2025, we paired each of Doodlewash’s daily prompts with a curated DANIEL SMITH Watercolor prompts to inspire fresh ideas and encourage artists to explore new pigments. We’re doing it again this year—with a completely different selection of colors to spark even more creativity, unexpected color combinations, and exciting painting adventures throughout July.
Share your paintings on Instagram and Facebook, and tag @doodlewash and @danielsmithartistsmaterials. Be sure to include #WorldWatercolorMonth and #DanielSmithArtistMaterials so we can see—and maybe even feature—your artwork.
Visit worldwatercolormonth.com to download the complete list of daily prompts and join thousands of artists around the world in celebrating watercolor all month long.
Here’s to 31 days of painting, 31 fresh color inspirations, and a month filled with creativity—powered by DANIEL SMITH Watercolors.
