Canvastober: 31 Days in the Atelier
A free painting challenge for artists ready to build a real practice
— one small canvas a day, all October.
31 days. 31 prompts. One small canvas at a time.
Canvastober is a daily painting challenge built from real atelier practice — not a stock prompt list. Register below for free access to our private Facebook community, where you'll get a new prompt every day, share your work, and get featured on Feature Friday.
No pressure, no perfection required. Just paint, and see what a practice built one day at a time can become.
From the Atelier:
For twenty-three years, my mornings have begun the same way. A brush. A color. A first mark.
That daily return is where everything grows. Confidence. Voice. Joy.
Canvastober is that return, shared. Thirty-one days. Thirty-one prompts. One small canvas at a time.
Each morning, a new prompt arrives in your inbox. You paint. You post in our private group. You see what fellow artists made from the same beginning, and every painting teaches you something.
Every Friday, I choose paintings for Feature Friday and share them on Facebook and Instagram, with your name beside your work.
Bring your acrylics. Bring your curiosity. Bring yourself.
October 31 is my birthday. I'll be painting the final prompt right beside you.
One month. Thirty-one canvases. A practice that stays with you.
