The idea of the Seasons of Art Challenge is to draw thirteen artworks in each season.
⠀⁠⁠
What
Every Sunday draw a picture using the Seasons of Art prompt for that week. You can find out more on my bio link.
⠀⁠
Seasonal Prompts
You may start by just completing one season's worth of artworks.
Perhaps you will do the Winter or Summer season.
⠀⁠
How
You can use your favorite medium like markers, pen and ink, colored, pencil watercolor, acrylics or oils etc.
It's up to you.
⠀⁠
Timeline
You have one week to complete each drawing, so there is no rush.
Once you have completed the first season you can continue on and create 52 artworks for the year.
⠀⁠
Winner
You win when you have completed the whole challenge and you have 52 artworks to be proud of.
⠀⁠
Good luck.

AHAtober is an art challenge like Inktober but the focus is on self-care.
⠀⁠
Every day in October you draw an ink drawing following along with the daily prompts.
⠀⁠
Self-care through art and daily practice is one of my things.
⠀⁠
If this interests you, you can read more about how I’m approaching AHAtober this year by clicking the link in my bio.
⠀⁠
If you are doing Inktober and you have some more time on your hands then try the AHAtober challenge prompts as well.
⠀⁠
Good luck.

Perpetual Nature Journal.
⠀⁠
Last weekend I went to the beach where the protected waters of English Bay lap desultorily at the coast in Vancouver.
⠀⁠
Just behind the beach and promenade is a strip of parkland comprising grass and flowers to beautify the place.
⠀⁠
It is here that the Canada geese gather or is that flock?
⠀⁠
How many do you need for a flock?

⠀⁠
Appreciation
I am a new nature journalist. I plan to take part in International Nature Journaling Week 2022. I appreciate the opportunity to take an art challenge related to nature journaling.
⠀⁠
Sharing
I discovered the Nature Journaling Week website and signed up for the newsletter where I hope they will share great ideas on nature journaling.
⠀⁠
Creativity
I'm never sure how my creativity will be expressed, but I'm sure it will arrive on the day.
⠀⁠
Inspiration
For artistic inspiration I'll look nearby. I believe the composition will come to me. I won't have to look far.
⠀⁠
Confidence
To be honest I'm not really confident about putting my artworks out there. This challenge will help with that. No matter how the finished work looks, I will post. Gulp…
⠀⁠
Celebration
I look forward to celebrating with you and your art journey during this fun art challenge. If I finish, it will certainly be something to celebrate.

This weekend I had planned to go down to the beach

This weekend I had planned to go down to the beach. It’s a short bus ride and very pleasant to be there on one of my precious days off.
⠀⁠
Unfortunately it is continuing to rain and it seems to be set in for the whole day.
⠀⁠
My original plan was to go to the coast and do some sketching there of the beach the seaside and seascapes.
⠀⁠
I’m particularly interested in the pebbles and what comes up on the beach as well things like shells and seaweed which are always interesting things to draw. However I decided to stay at home because of the bad weather.
⠀⁠ ⠀⁠
I have a little African Violet plant that I got at Christmas time when it was first in bloom.
⠀⁠
I’ve managed to keep this plant are alive and even though the first flowers faded and went now here in May we finally have the second blooming.
⠀⁠
Because the plant is quite a bit bigger the petals are larger too and there seems to be more of them. So I decided that this would be my nature sketch for today and I will do it at home in my creator studio because I couldn’t go out to the beach, but I wanted to do some sketchbook work this weekend.
