As part of my Chroma Course, I work with artists to break through their creative barriers and answer all of the questions they have about monetizing their art. One of the questions I get all the time is, “How do I find my artistic style?” 

 

(P.S. Missed this round of the Chroma Course? Join the waitlist for the next round!)

 

Your style is your way of sharing what resonates with you as an artist and gives you the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. The world needs your unique voice, so I wrote a blog post dedicated to my best tips for finding your style.

In honor of finding your artistic style, this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge will be a “Draw This In Your Style” challenge! Since summer is coming up, I'd love for you to recreate a popular summer motif! Draw this flamingo illustration in your style and share your illustration with me on Instagram using the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq. I’ll share the entries to my stories, so don’t forget to use the hashtag to be featured!

I'm so excited to announce my newest art licensing collaboration! I've teamed up with Fit + Fresh to produce a collection of artistic lunch boxes sold through Sam's Club. If you want to add a little extra color to your workday lunch, you can grab one of these lunch boxes at your local Sam’s Club or shop online here. 

I have two different pattern designs for these lunchboxes. One is a hand-painted pattern that I digitized in Photoshop and the other one was created in Procreate! You can learn more about the design process and how the collab came to life in this blog post.

There are a few final spots left for my watercolor + entrepreneurship retreat in Spain this summer! In addition to painting alongside me every morning, we'll also be diving into workshops, masterminds, and business discussions where you will learn insider knowledge to succeed in the ever-changing art industry.

 

There are only a few spots left so reserve yours here before it sells out!

 

This retreat is exactly the blend of art, education, AND a location that I have been seeking to host and I couldn’t be more thrilled! The retreat center is in the heart of the first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the South of Spain.

• 1/3 watercolor workshop

• 1/3 business growth

• 1/3 vacation in Spain

 

The goal is to help you create beautiful paintings right alongside me, plus develop the skills necessary to grow a successful creative business.

 

When: June 3–10, 2022

 

This retreat is fully refundable if canceled due to COVID-19. I’m optimistic about the future, but I absolutely want to play it safe, thus the full refund policy if circumstances beyond our control are still an issue.
