20 min of creative time
The daily goal is not a perfect art piece. The goal is 20 minutes of creative time. After 20 minutes, if you want to keep working on the project you can, but the goal is 20 minutes, and no matter what happens, 20 minutes of creative time is a success!
Will there be prizes?
Yes, there will be prizes!
Every week we’ll pick our faves and post them. You don’t have to complete all 30 to be eligible to win a prize. With every artwork you post, you enter to win. The more you post, the greater chance you’ll have of winning. So post away! There’s no limit to how many prizes you can win this January.
