Are you ready to dive into something truly fun and creative in September? 🤎
This September, Maria and I are bringing together painting, collage, and storytelling in one unique challenge - and we’d love for you to be part of it! 😍
Here’s what makes this challenge special:
You’ll start with a beautiful portrait reference from Valë, and then, inspired by my Koneko tutorial, you’ll transform your painting into a mixed-media artwork. Add stickers, washi tape, rice paper, or any scrapbooking treasures you have on hand - let your imagination run wild! ✨
The best part? You won’t just be painting - you’ll be part of a community challenge. Share your work, inspire others, and see how different artists interpret the same portrait in their own magical way!
🗓 Deadline: September 30, 2025
🏆 Winner: The most creative and beautiful artwork will be chosen as the winner! ✨
The prize includes a special goodie pack of a beautiful postcard, magnet, sticker, a sparkling glitter watercolor set, and the original washi stickers I used in my Koneko painting!💖
And best of all: the winning piece will be featured on my Instagram, so the whole community can admire your creation! 🌟🎨
