MONTHLY CHALLENGE // clouds

Added 2025-06-01 08:23:14 +0000 UTC

June has arrived! This month, we'll be painting clouds together! ☁️ This is a great opportunity to practice expressive and dynamic shapes. Clouds don't have to be painted as accurately as many other things, so we can exaggerate as much as we want! It's also a great subject to practice blending and painterly techniques with. Happy painting! ⛅
