Last year I had the pleasure of co-hosting an art challenge along with a group of talented artists. We called the challenge “Month of Masters”, and it was about studying, learning, experimenting, or just having fun replicating the artwork of master painters during the month of July.
You can see time-lapse videos of my entries on this YouTube Playlist or explore the hashtag #MonthOfMasters over Instagram to see all the amazing entries we had.
The challenge was a success and many asked if we were hosting the challenge again this year…The answer is YES!
↓ Here are the details ↓
