Splashes of color for Watercolor Month

World Water Color Month is the perfect excuse to get creative. Sure, you might not be able to paint something as iconic as Winslow Homer’s ‘Rocky Beach,’ shown here, but all you need is a set of watercolor paints from the drugstore to whip up a unique painting of your own. Art, after all, can be a cathartic form of expression. As Bob Ross once said: ‘In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage.’
