GOLDEN Sponsors World Watercolor Month
This July marks the 5th anniversary of World Watercolor Month (WWM) and for the third year in a row, GOLDEN has signed on as a sponsor. WWM grew from a simple idea – Paint every day! The central theme every year is a list of daily prompts published by the founders (Doodlewash) for each day in July. Artists are encouraged to interpret the prompts however they’d like and share their progress daily on social media. With so many summer events cancelled, and artists stuck at home, 2020 is sure to be the biggest and most active WWM audience to date!
To acknowledge this crucial period for watercolors, we’ve adjusted the MAP policy for all QoR products for 2020 to continue through the end of July:
– Adjusted 40% off MAP March 2, 2020 – July 31, 2020
To connect with artists during this crucial promotional period, QoR Modern Watercolors will be quite busy on all of our social media channels in July, and we invite all of our trade partners to come join us:
– Facebook Live Events: Come watch members of the GOLDEN Working Artist team interpret the daily prompt in real-time on QoR’s Facebook page.
o 7/1 – Jenny Granberry
o 7/8 – Nancy Seiler
– Instagram content: Find and share posts inspired by the World Watercolor Month prompt on our Instagram channel daily for all of July! Additionally, we’ll be sharing sample offers with our audience weekly. To follow along, and share with your audiences, find us on Instagram @QoRwatercolors.
