Watercolor Challenge: Paintbrush

October 10, 2025 / Diann Zimmerman

This week’s prompt flips the script: instead of painting with your brush… paint your brush! Celebrate the tool that brings your imagination to life. Whether it’s frayed and well-loved or sleek and pristine, your brush has stories to tell—and now is your chance to honor it in watercolor form. This is a reminder that even the most ordinary items can become extraordinary subjects.
