🌿 July Hub

Welcome to World Watercolour Month 2026

Welcome to the July Hub — your home for everything you need throughout World Watercolour Month.

Each week I'll add a new free resource pack containing the concept sketches, composition guides, colour palette and techniques we'll be using together.

Whether you're joining on Day 1 or catching up later in the month, you'll always find the latest resources here.

Now grab your paints, make yourself a cup of tea and let's paint tiny together.

🌿 Because every tiny painting tells a story... and every story deserves a Tiny Visual Diary. 💚


How it works?

How Each Lesson Comes Together

✏️ 1. Original Pencil Concept

Every lesson begins with one of my own pencil sketches as I explore ideas for the month.

🎨 2. Concept Image

Using my original sketch, I create a computer-generated concept image to help visualise the mood, colours and atmosphere. This isn't the final painting—it's simply creative inspiration.

📐 3. Composition Guide

I simplify the concept into a Composition Guide, showing only the main shapes. This gives you a quick starting point without overwhelming you with detail.

🖌️ 4. Tiny Watercolour Lesson

Together we'll paint a loose, simplified version in around 50 seconds, learning one technique at a time. I'll add textures, brushwork and details freehand as we go.

🌿 5. Make It Your Own

The finished painting doesn't need to match mine—or the concept image. The goal is to build confidence, enjoy painting, and create your own Tiny Visual Diary, one tiny painting at a time.
