Hey friends!
I'm hosting a 30 day art challenge!* As you know, I'm all about COMMUNITY + encouraging the spirit of creativity in our lifestyles.
This challenge is for anyone who wants to slosh paint around, challenge themselves creatively + surround themselves with other cool artists.
We have all experienced the joy of creating + sharing art with others, so let's spread the inspiration around! I created this challenge, in the hope, that you'll discover new ways to make your BOLD marks on the world while inspiring each other to share our work more often.

Here are the details:
1. choose a journal you ENJOY working in or...make one!
I am altering a children's board book. (Right now, I'm illustrating the cover. I'll be sure to link you to it once it's finished!)
Sneak peek: It's filled with multiple papers + fun textures: phone book paper, canvas sheets + 300lb. watercolor paper. (YUM! My mouth just watered!)
Think about choosing a journal with more than 30 pages.
I'm known to get carried away with a certain technique + spin off doing way more than intended ;-) I hope to continue this exercise long after the 30 day challenge has ended.
MORE PAGES = MORE FUN, right?!
2. set a TIMER
Choose whatever time works for you. I wish I could art all day, but, ya know...LIFE happens + I need to make sure I feed myself. LOL!

Hi, Martice! I'm going to give this a shot. It's a great idea for someone like me who has trouble sitting down to commit time to doing art-type stuff. I am not on any social media site, and I'm older so that some computer stuff like scanning and posting images is not in the range of my abilities, but I hope this doesn't mean I can't participate. Thanks for the fun opportunity! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, Robin! No problem at all. Sure, you can still participate! Do what you can with whatever time you have. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, right off the bat. I'm happy to hear that you're committing time to art. That's always important! Thank you so much for joining the challenge with me!
