ART CHALLENGES - A staple of the Swatches community is the monthly art challenges with professional feedback. These are not competitions but are ways to push your artistic skills by taking on projects that mimic the parameters of a professional commission. They are designed by Clint and cover an array of subjects with all media, styles and skill levels being accepted (unless otherwise noted).DETAILS - To participate in a challenge and receive feedback during a Friday livestream you'll need to purchase a "ticket" from the store (http://www.swatchesart.com). Twelve tickets are available for each, group 1 and group 2. The tickets come with the outline of the challenge topic, inspiration images, and a document with links where your image should be uploaded. Tickets usually go on sale the Saturday after the finals livestream (which is every 4 weeks). Participants have 2 weeks to create the concept image for review then have 2 more weeks to finish the image for final review.DISCORD - Join Swatches on Discord at discord.gg/KsVYfgeEDUCATION - Pick up Clint's instructional videos and PDFs at http://www.swatchesart.comPAINTOVER - Submit your art for and join the weekly members Paintover Stream by becoming a Super Swatcher channel member!
