Today we are on to our 4th color and collage challenge and it was a fun one!! It had some of my favorite colors to mix and play with and a great inspiration photo from the book we’re working from.

The word for this week is grow and it’s perfect.. because each time we play, practice and do new things, it strengthens our artist courage muscles.

I did a lot of pen work with some new acrylic pens and I got to use 3 of the new stencils in the shop.

This is all available in the free subscriber library along with all the other challenges, if you want to go back and catch up.

The schedule and details sheets, you can download in the library. You can also share your work in the private community for the library.

Have fun with this and always know that you are loved!!
