You showed up for last week’s mountain challenge! That one seemed to be a real hit!

I want to make sure that these weekly challenges are as helpful and fun as possible, and I need your opinion!

 

Take this short one-question survey to tell me what kinds of challenges you want to see each week! 

If you’re new here, I have a weekly drawing challenge called #CreateWithCatCoq that goes out to my newsletter subscribers every week. 

 

The challenge is hosted on Instagram and all you have to do to participate is follow the prompt from this email and share your work on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq. I share participants’ work on my Stories and in this newsletter and it’s a great way to connect with fellow artists!

 

Here are a few of the submissions for last week’s mountain challenge. It was especially fun to see these since I spent a big chunk of last week hiking in Colombia's Cocora Valley!

 

This week’s challenge is inspired by one of my favorite color combinations - blush and mint! Since blush is in the red family and mint is in the green family, these colors are complementary and are visually appealing when paired together. 

 

Your challenge this week is to create an illustration with blush and mint as the focal point of your palette. Here’s a palette I put together for you to use! 

 

This is one of 10 free color palettes that you can download here in Procreate and jpg format. Color can be a big sticking point for beginner artists, so these palettes are designed to help you kickstart your creativity without worrying about what colors to choose!

Share your blush and mint illustration on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can see what you make! I go through every submission and I’m excited to see yours, First name / friend!

 

Here are a few examples of blush and mint palettes in my portfolio:

Have a great week!
