Acrylic April Painting Challenge begins April 1st 2021- no joke
30 Days, 30 Powerful Little Paintings
We hope that Every April, artists from all over the world take on the all Acrylic, all April painting challenge by doing one small acrylic painting every day for the entire month.
I am creating the #AcrylicApril challenge as a way to introduce painters to the gifts of daily painting with Acrylic.This monthly challenge will help every acrylic artist unlock the true potential of the acrylic medium and their own art voice.
Anyone can do Acrylic April,
Just grab your paint, your brush and hit the studio (even if it’s your kitchen table).
#AcrylicApril rules:
1) Make a painting on a surface 12x12 or smaller. ( sorry for the confusion)
My live classes use an 8x8
2) Share it online
3) Hashtag it with #AcrylicArpril #AcrylicApril202 1
#AcrylicAprilItsNoJoke #TheArtSherpa and be sure to add the day of the challenge, or word prompt, etc
4) Repeat Daily from April 1 ( no fooling) to April 30th
How to do the Challenge:
Do your best to paint daily. Some Days may be artwork you are excited about, some days you may scribble out an abstract, but under no circumstances should your be hard on yourself. If you make 30 little paintings you are a winner. If you make less than 30 you are a winner. Do your best, paint anything you want using the prompts and/or the daily tutorials with The Art Sherpa
Wait there are daily tutorials not just prompts ?? THAT'S right!!!
This is an Art Sherpa painting challenge so it’s extra awesome.. This challenge comes with a daily live video lesson you can follow along with. So you can use the prompts, follow the lesson, or do your own thing. Either way you are going to succeed. This is going to change your art world.
I will be teaching my lessons on an 8x8 art panel.
That's it! Now go make something beautiful.
Anyone, from Anywhere in the world, no matter who you are or how much painting experience you have can Join in.
You are invited to paint along!!
How much does it cost? -

Happy New Year
It's finally here! The New Year and the fresh start we have been waiting for. Yet, unlike the wardrobe in Narnia, going from December 31st to January 1st isn't really a magic door that changes everything. The feeling of starting fresh comes from inside us and the way we hope and feel about the coming year. Many things are the same today as they were just a few days ago. Many challenges of 2020 are still very much present in 2021. Yet I look to 2021 full of hope and a plans for improvement, both personal and as your Art Guide.
The Plan
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what would make things easier for all of you as you learn to become creative beings. I've looked back at the lessons I have learned as your teacher from last 6 years. I have been a busy bee planning what to do during the 2021 year so that I could make learning art even more fun, easy and accessible. What steps could I take to make your experience as new artist as rewarding as it possibly can be? To create a goldilocks zone of art learning?
- Consistency
- Create a core schedule and stick to it as much as power, health and the internet will allow.
- Set Materials
- Create a set list of studio and art materials so you can participate in classes knowing far in advance what you will need.
- Keep to those materials for all 200+ classes planned for 2021
- Communicate early so you can plan
- To let you know early what classes are coming in advance
- More newsletters with more information
- Events and posts on Facebook
- Fill the calendar early
- Provide more Learning Resources
- Adding mini books supplements your video learning material.
- Structured curriculum class programs
- Add the fun
- Include play and games on both the website and newsletter
- Extra Surprise video classes
- Share creative and self care tips

Naples Yellow Light * Titanite Yellow * Or Naples yellow ??
This is the only complicated part of the new 2021 list. To make it easier to understand what Naples is the right Naples, I wrote a blog. Naples yellow by any other name would be as yellow green, right? No, sadly Naples can run the gamut of stunning light yellow green to bandage bleh. So I just went and found them all.

-
Featured artist : Frida Kahlo
More Fun facts about Frida and the solution page coming in the next Newsletter.
- Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico City
- She lied about her birthday, not to seem younger, but to share her day with the Mexican Revolution
- She had polio as a child, was in a catastrophic bus accident, went through 30 surgeries in her life
- She started painting in a Body Cast
- She was married to artist Diego Rivera - he was a lot
- She painted more than 200 paintings depicting the physical and emotional pain of her life
- She is the mother of the selfie and one of the greatest icons of modern art
The Art of Self Care.
- Remember you matter
- When you feel calm you can help others
- Taking time to be creative helps you imagine solutions to problems
- If you have to take care of others remember you do that best from a place of rest, mindfulness and self compassion.
- If you need to H.A.L.T. and take a break to reset, Do So!
Hungry : Make sure your body is fed and your blood sugar is balanced.
Angry : Feelings are information. If you are angry remove yourself from the situation until you are calm and ready to explain calmly what you are feeling
Lonely: Human beings are social animals, when we are lonely we struggle. Reach out and connect with someone who cares about you.
Tired: Many of you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders right now and rest might be scarce. If you are very tired take every chance you can to rest. If its a nap then take a nap. If it is going to bed earlier, skip that show and watch it later on the DVR.
These are simple things that can help you steer to a better feeling tomorrow.
