$16.99
One Color a Day is a gentle, meditative watercolor practice designed to help you create a visual time capsule of your year, one color at a time. Simple and approachable, it’s an inviting way to build a daily creative habit without pressure or perfection. The book features an orderly, gridded layout where each day you paint a single color and add a word or short phrase. Over time, these daily entries come together to form a deeply personal and visually striking record of a year.
Author Courtney Cerruti emphasizes how accessible the practice can be. Each entry takes as little as five minutes and can easily fit into everyday routines, whether that’s during your morning coffee or after a meal. There’s no need to overthink it. Simply choose a color, paint, and name it. The book’s introduction outlines the benefits of the practice along with helpful watercolor tips. Throughout the pages, you’ll also find thoughtful prompts and ideas for selecting your daily color, setting intentions, and reflecting on different aspects of your life.
“Despite our best intentions to slow down, remember, and appreciate certain moments, life moves very fast. You can use your color-a-dat exercise to capture a quiet lunch break when you heard bees buzzing in the flowers, or a stimulating conversation with a friend over coffee. Just putting down one color to represent your favorite part of the day, or to symbolize your current mood, is an effortless way to record what is often fleeting and forgotten.” —Courtney Cerruti, Your Reasons for Starting.
Hardcover; Includes 52 weeks (365 days) of blank color diary pages + 52 extra (one per week); 5.75” x 7.5”
