Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend and made some wonderful memories!<\/p>\n

July is World Watercolor Month. What could be more perfect for us in the digi world? Watercolor papers and elements have been found in digital scrapbook stores for quite a while now, and they are some of my personal favorites! I especially love papers with a watercolor ombre effect and go out of my way to use them when they are included in a kit.<\/p>\n

\u201dPerhaps watercolor is more art than acrylics or oil because the opportunity to correct errors is very limited as the colors are transparent\u2026 The sun, wind and temperature influences water-pigment-paper! Everything flows, painting with watercolors!\u201d\u00a0~ Adriana Buggino<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Art has been an expression of the human soul, and a salve for the same, since time out of mind. One of the most ancient art forms is watercolor painting, and World Watercolor Month celebrates it and encourages everyone to give it a try!<\/em><\/p>\n

Watercolor painting has a history stretching back to\u00a0pre-history, with the earliest examples gracing the cave walls where ancient man used to live.\u00a0Since that time art has played an important role in our society, bringing us together, inspiring us,\u00a0and lifting our hearts during our darkest days.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I looked through the Shoppe<\/a>\u00a0for products that feature art, particularly watercolor. And, of course, I found some beautiful examples! ? Here are just a few of the products I found:<\/p>\n
