Hi Insiders!

This week we have a new mug (with a discount just for you), a new challenge (with exclusive downloads for members and Patrons), a pick 'n' mix of our most popular recent tutorials (in case you missed any) and a brief trip down memory lane.

Celebrate Your Creativity

...with an #everydayadoodle mug!

We've created a fun mug to celebrate the #everydayadoodle challenge we all enjoyed so much in February, and we hope that it will help you to stay motivated to paint or doodle for at least five minutes a day.
This mug is available in either blue or black and either 11oz or 15oz, and for this week only we have a $5 discount ready and waiting for you!

Give Your Creativity Wings

...with April's #buildabird challenge!

For April's Daily Watercolor Challenge we've created something a bit different. Taking inspiration from our recent #paintabirdaday and #everydayadoodle challenges, we've designed a new challenge which is easy to fit into busy schedules, perfect for beginners and experienced painters alike, guaranteed to bust creative blocks or get you out of creative ruts, and most importantly of all, great FUN!

Here's how it works.

Instead of painting full birds every day, we’ll be breaking them down into parts—bodies, wings, beaks, tails, and more—so you can mix and match your designs in endless ways! Over 30 days (which you can start at any time) you’ll follow a simple prompt list, painting small elements that will come together into a flock of unique and imaginative birds.

We introduced #buildabird in the video below, and the full details of the challenge are explained in the blog post which is also linked below.
If you are a member of our YouTube channel or a Patreon (all tiers) you can download a handy prompt sheet for easy reference, as well as 5 pages of traceable elements to help you to build your birds: bodies, legs, feet, tails, wings, beaks and eyes!

I'd like my Prompt Sheet and Traceables!...

Unburied by YouTube...

These cute birds from May 2022 have recently been dusted off by YouTube and shown to a new audience. Perhaps you are one of them?!

This was one of my earliest explorations of whimsical birds, and also one of the first times I'd used Daniel Smith Primatek paints.
