World Watercolor Month

July 2021

Albright Art Supply's July 2021 Newsletter

Did you know July is World Watercolor Month? The National Day Calendar registrar officially declared July as World Watercolor Month back in 2016. Charlie O'Shields, creater of Doodlewash, originated the month as a way to celebrate the use of watercolors in creativity and art.

Albright Art Supply would like to celebrate watercolors too! We are planning to give away gifts so check out Albright Art Supply's Instagram for updates!

During the month, either tag @albrightartsupply or use #albrightartsupplywatercolors to show us any of your watercolor creations!

What Kind of Watercolor Palette Do You Use?

Mijello Fusion

Airtight Palette

Plastic Palette of various sizes and shapes

Palettes of various

shapes and sizes

7-well Porcelain

Mixing Tray

We carry a variety of palettes for the beginner and advanced watercolorist!

The Mijello Fusion Airtight Palette is customer approved! One of our frequent customers told us it is easy to carry, closes tightly so your watercolors will not leak out, and it has a large mixing area.
We have a variety of plastic palettes—a flower palette, a 10-well palette and a larger 12-well rectangular palette. The rectangular palette has four mixing areas. TIP: Remember whenever using a plastic palette for watercolors, it is best to prepare the surface first prior to use. Mix baking soda and water creating a paste to clean the mixing areas. Your watercolor will no longer bead up. Please note you may have to do this process once or twice to thoroughly prepare the surface. #albrightartsupplytips
New to the shop is the Porcelain 10-well Mixing Tray. Unlike plastic, watercolors will not bead up on this porcelain tray. Porcelain is smooth and the pigments will stick together.
