#everydayadoodle
This February we’ve created a watercolor challenge EVERYONE can do, and we hope you will join in. It’s absolutely true that 5 minutes a day for a month can establish life-changing habits. And you can have fun at the same time with our #everydayadoodle daily challenge!
Join the Challenge!
Here’s how to join the #everydayadoodle challenge:

That’s all there is to it! You can share your work in our Facebook group if you want to, or elsewhere in social media using the hashtag #everydayadoodle. Or you can just do it for yourself.
