I would love to know from you all : - what kind of art you do? and : - 1 thing that you have struggled with as an artist? I'll go first! I'm an artist focusing predominantly on abstract textured paintings, but more recently I have decided to paint things like flowers and faces. The things I have struggled with the most as an artist is knowing when to stop working on a painting, as sometimes I keep painting and then end up ruining it!

Final day of the challenge. If you’ve been following along, feel free to share your final piece or anything you’ve created over the week. If you’re new, just jump in and share what you’re working on. Also thought it would be good to open this up a bit - drop a comment and say hello. Where are you based and what kind of art are you into? Good to see the group growing - would be great to hear from more of you 👍🏾

Day 2 – Texture Today is all about letting the surface do the work. Start by adding texture (paste, layering, anything raised), then apply ink over it and see how it reacts. Don’t try to control it too much — let the texture guide the piece. Keep it simple, even small studies are fine. Post what you create below 👇 I’ll be giving feedback.

Guys! Today’s focus is on colour and keeping things simple. You can limit yourself to 2 colours, or just work with any colours you feel like using - the main thing is to stay loose and let the piece develop naturally. Show what you paint today, regardless of whether you’ve been following from Day 1 or just starting now. Post your work below 👇 This is all just for fun, and for me to get to know you better, so do try and respond!

Curious to know if you start with a base layer on the canvas using gesso (or something else) or do you just paint straight on it.
