Hi First name / friends!

 

You all showed up last week for the Very Peri #CreateWithCatCoq challenge! It was so fun to see your different takes on the Pantone color of the year! 

These were just a few of the incredible illustrations for last week's challenge. Check the rest out on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq.

 

How about we jump on a different trend this week?

This week's challenge is to create a monstera leaf illustration using your favorite medium. Monstera plants have been exploding in popularity recently, and you can find them in everything from home decor, apparel, jewelry, and so much more!

We've talked about how important trend tracking is if you want to sell your artwork, so jumping on the Monstera trend is a good idea if you want to increase your sales. Tropical motifs have been popular for a while now, so I don't think this trend is going anywhere any time soon!

If you want to paint a watercolor Monstera for this week's challenge, my newest blog post walks you through the process step-by-step.

Share your work on Instagram using the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq! I feature select artists' work so don't forget to use the hashtag and tag me @catcoq for a chance to be featured!

I am thrilled to announce that my Chroma Course, Make and Sell Watercolor Art, is completely sold out. The course is now in full swing, and I'm loving interacting with the 50 incredible artists inside!

If you missed out on joining us this round, be sure to get on the waitlist. If I run this course again, you'll be the first to know and will be able to snag a spot right away.

 

I'm so excited to see your monstera illustrations this week! Don't forget to tag me @catcoq so I can see what you make!
