The Strada 31 day challenge is a challenge hosted by… you guessed it: Strada Easel. The rules are simple: Complete one painting from life every day. If competing for the prize of one of 5 easels, post your completed painting each day to your facebook page with the hashtag #stradaeasel and the day. Official rules can be found on Strada’s website.
Truly, I waffled over doing this challenge for weeks. I finally committed by entering the challenge at virtually the last minute. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I struggled with the idea of doing this challenge so much. I’ve done plenty of 30 day challenges at this point and I was genuinely excited to get back to oil painting. And yet I was hangup somewhere.
Ultimately, I decided that I’ll start the challenge and hope that my perfectionist nature will compel me to complete it. And maybe, along the way I’ll enjoy the process too. See you all next week!
