World Watercolor Month July 2025: Art by Donald Holden (1931–2017, US).

World Watercolor Month began in 2016 to honor watercolor artists around the globe. The work of Donald Holden is a fitting tribute to this often unforgiving, yet deeply expressive medium.

Holden developed a spontaneous wet-on-wet technique, painting soft, dreamlike landscapes from memory using just four colors and two brushes. His scenes—from Lake Powell to the Hudson River Valley—capture atmosphere over detail, embracing subtle shifts in tone and light.
Go to curatorscorner.com to explore more about Holden’s process and legacy on our blog by our art historian and curator, Karl Cole.⁠
