One of the best ways to grow as an artist and to find your voice is through play and that is the purpose of this challenge.

Giving ourselves limitations also helps create new ideas and gives us the courage to start. And starting can be one of the hardest things to do.

My favorite quote “Show up… Make a mess… Repeat”

My goal for the color and collage challenge is to let go of perfection and just play. That’s why I’ve been using one side of my journal to record what I learned in my playtime during the challenge… and what I like or what I would like to change the next time.

And to be honest, every time we create… it teaches us something.

So I hope you’ll join me with this year’s challenge. The sheet are available to download in the free subscriber library along with the supplies list and video so that you can come back to it any time and play.

Enjoy the process this week and have fun just playing! And always know that you are loved.

Hello there! I’m Shawn Petite

I’ve been teaching and creating for well over 25 years. About 15 years ago I found my art soul mate in mixed media, and it changed my life! I love the story that can be told by combining paint, texture, ink, paper and—really anything that you can imagine.

But what I’m truly passionate about is being your guide, walking with you step by step and helping you become your own hero in your creative journey.

Along my path, I’ve learned that the creating art also creates a healing space. Life can be messy and complicated and painful, but something about a paint brush can help heal your soul. I believe—no, I know—you are worthy of love, and I want to teach you to know that about yourself. Join me on this journey of art and inspiration!
