There are many ways to approach your painting practice—and each one serves a different purpose. In this Mini, we’ll briefly explore three core approaches: one-off paintings, painting in a series, and developing a cohesive body of work.

We’ll break down how they differ, and then we’ll dive deeper into building a body of work—what it is, why it matters, and the steps you can take to start creating one with intention.

Doors are open for the next round of the 20for20 Art Challenge.

This is a structured 20-day challenge where you spend 20 minutes a day painting or drawing. We begin with Prep Week to help you choose a project, set up materials, and make a realistic plan so you can follow through.
If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with your art, this is a great place to start.
