Will I be able to share with others? Yes, there’ll be a private Facebook group where you can share artwork and see how others interpret the ideas too.
Why an idea every day? Daily art practice can be particularly positive, becoming part of your routine and a great way to have a little time out each day. And if you miss a day – just get back to it when you can!
