(Please put the paintings you make in 30 brush strokes under this post. ❤️) Ready to loosen up, paint more confidently, and stop overthinking every brushstroke? Welcome to the 30 Brush Strokes Challenge! For the next 30 days, you’ll create small paintings using no more than 30 brush strokes. That’s it. No perfect paintings. No endless tweaking. No pressure. Just 30 intentional marks. Why this challenge? Many artists improve by painting more. But you’ll often improve even faster by painting with limitations. When you only have 30 brush strokes, you can’t overwork your painting. You learn to: - paint with confidence instead of hesitation - simplify what you see - make stronger decisions - let go of perfectionism - trust your instincts - finish what you start You’ll probably be surprised by how much your paintings improve after just a few weeks. The rules 🖌️ Maximum 30 brush strokes per painting. 📏 Keep it small (A6, A5, postcard size… whatever feels easy.) ⏱️ Spend around 5–15 minutes on each painting. 🎨 Use any medium you like. 📸 Share your paintings in the group whenever you’d like. Need ideas? Paint whatever inspires you! For example: - fruit - flowers - birds - pets - landscapes - your morning coffee - your favorite mug - vegetables - mushrooms - trees - people - houses - clouds - seashells - a toy - your paint brushes - something from your garden - something completely from your imagination Missed a day? No worries. This isn’t about having a perfect streak. Life happens. Skip a day if you need to, then simply continue the next day. Progress is built over time—not by being perfect. One more thing… This is not a competition. There are no winners. No prizes. No judging. The only person you’re challenging is yourself. At the end of the month, you’ll have a collection of small paintings that show your growth—and that’s the real reward.

We are camping and I didn't bring paints. So I bought some inexpensive paint at walmart, and cut up cardboard to paint on. Here is to Day one of painting on cardboard.

This month we’re leaving reality behind. Flying whales? Purple apples floating through space? A café on the moon? Perfect. If you can dream it, you can paint it. Post your entries below and let’s see where our imaginations take us. 🚀🎨✨ How it works 🎨 Create as many artworks as you like throughout the month. 📸 Post your entries in the comments below this challenge. 🎭 Any medium is welcome: - Oil - Acrylic - Watercolor - Pastel - Mixed media - Digital art - Sketches 💡 Feel free to experiment, be weird, be poetic, be playful. Challenge Rules 1. All artwork must be created by you 2. You can enter as many pieces as you want. 3. Tell us a little about the dream or idea behind your artwork (optional but encouraged). 4. Have fun and encourage fellow artists along the way. 5. Invite friends that would enjoy this too. 6. Dateline 30 June. At the End of the Month 🏆 We’ll choose: 🥇 Dream Master Award 🥈 Most Original Dream 🥉 Community Favorite No prizes. Just glory, bragging rights, and a spotlight in the community. 😄 Your First Prompt Before you start painting, answer this: If there were no limits, what would your dream world look like? Now grab your brushes and start dreaming. 🌙✨

Most artists don’t fail because of talent. They disappear. So let’s fix that. New challenge: Show Up & Create → 3x per week→ for 30 days→ post whatever you made (finished or messy) Rules: - No perfection - No overthinking - Just proof you showed up - Miss a day? Don’t quit. Just continue. This is about becoming someone who creates. Not someone who waits. I’m in too. Who’s joining?
