Watercolor Challenge: Laundry

August 1, 2025 / Diann Zimmerman

Whether it’s tumbling in the dryer, flapping in the breeze, or forming its own abstract sculpture on the kitchen table… this week we’re celebrating Laundry in all its glory.  It could even be a stack of folded laundry!

Why paint laundry? Because folds, fabric, and draped clothes challenge your observation skills, build confidence in sketching contours, and offer a fantastic learning opportunity to focus on shapes and values.
