What Makes It Uncommon

Keep your days organized and your creativity flowing with a 2026 desk calendar that you paint yourself. Each month features a beautifully detailed outline illustration just waiting for your artistic touch, even without prior painting skills. The included brush and hand-mixed watercolor palette make it easy (and wildly satisfying) to bring every floral bouquet, seasonal still life, and cozy cottage scene to life.

  • Use the included paintbrush and hand-mixed palette to paint each month’s unique design.
  • Wire-bound format includes a fold-out easel for easy desktop display.
  • After each month, trim to 5"x7" and frame your finished artwork.
  • Calendar printed in China. Watercolor paints hand-mixed and kit assembled in Utah.

Due to the nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Made from

watercolor paper, watercolor paint, synthetic paint brush

Measurements

6" L x 9" W

Care

Leaving brush in water for extended periods of time will loosen the bristles.

Paper may buckle some when painting, you can use painter tape to tape to a surface while painting and allow to completely dry before removing, or simply put a heavy book on the paper to flatten after it is completely dry.
Watercolors can be left out to dry and used again by wetting. Due to their handmade nature, colors may occasionally come out of designated spots in the well. To re-adhere, simply wet the paint and let it set in its well to keep it on the palette.

Notes

6'x9" watercolor paper calendar with cardboard stand

Not for beginners

Item arrived late-I did know it was backordered when order was placed. There are no tips about how to use the paint, how it can be re-used over 12 months or watercolor technique suggestions.

Wonderful gift, great for beginners

This is a wonderful gift for any amateur artist. I have some experience in art but this was my first time doing watercolor. I just did a quick Google and got started right away. Even if I hadn't, the journey is the reward in art, it doesn't have to be perfect.


Don't buy if you expect guidance about what color goes where

This calendar has beautiful drawings and paints are provided. There is no guidance regarding which colors to use in each picture or how the shading should look. Not for beginners. This was a gift purchased for me.

Response from merchant

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the artwork and included paints. We hear great feedback about this item. I’m sorry that it wasn’t a great fit for you. I’m sorry to hear the lack of color guidance and shading instructions made this challenging, especially as a gift. We’re reaching out directly in case we can do more to help.


No instructions or painting tips

It's a nice set, however there are no instructions or painting tips at all included. I've never done watercolor before so I don't know anything about technique, how to mix the water in the palette, or do I just make the paintbrush itself wet and then brush it on the colors? Is there any way to extend the life of the colors or brush? It seems like there are ways to make to colors darker or lighter, how do I do that? It would be nice to just have some sort of guidance in the set itself instead of me having to look it up online.


Take a moment for yourself

Well designed. Quality paper holds up to water colors. Perfect pallet size and color selection with nice brush. It has been a nice monthly ritual of time spent with my daughter.


Paint every month of this fun calendar!

I honestly bought this for the adorable paint palette, it did not disappoint I can't wait to gift this to my sons girlfriend.


Beautiful calendar, very little paint.

The calendar is beautiful, but how does one paint twelve pictures with the tiny amount of paint provided? I had to buy a set of paints.


Christmas gift

Wife is a beginner painter. ,she'll love it.


For the artist in you

A little bit more paint would be helpful


Paint your year!

What a nice way to set your intentions for the upcoming year as you slowly paint and think about your goals. Good gift for anyone who likes to find time for themselves and slow down on our busy world.
