Celebrating July as International Watercolor Month is becoming an annual event for us. This year we decided that to offer a challenge.
Let’s see what each of us can create using only one or two paint pigments! You can mix them to create more colors but start with no more than two pigments. There are many fine examples of this on the web if you need samples to get your creative juices flowing.
Uncomfortable working with just two pigments? First, try it. If you don’t like the result, you can submit your favorite recent painting but think about giving it a try.

This online showing is for all members to share what we are doing. There is no jurying, no fees. Submit using the form below.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Paintings will not be offered for sale. Artist contact information will be provided if requested.

This is a CFWS members only online show. Entries will be accepted on our web site from June 15 through June 30, 2025. Once posted, the show will run through Sept 30, 2025. Become a member and submit a work.
