Do you have “decision fatigue,” having to decide what to paint each day? Do you want to paint every day, but can’t find the time? Here’s an opportunity for you to pick up that brush and create a small painting every day in July! Join me as I celebrate World Watercolor Month with the July Animal Eyes Challenge!

What will you get out of this?
Your skills and muscle memory – will improve because you are painting more often; Enjoy the satisfaction of painting every day; Gain confidence in painting eyes – get faster at it; Have fun and make new friends in the community!
What if you can’t commit to painting and posting an eye a day ? Can I still join the challenge?
Yes! Do what you can, even breaking it down to 5 or 10 eyes, just one breed, etc. My personal goal is to paint 30 eyes in 30 days. You set your own goal, and it’s o.k. to miss some days. Nobody will know but you. The challenge is about building your skills and confidence. It’s about painting more often. It’s about having fun and developing new habits!
