This September, artists from all over the world will be participating in the STRADA painting and drawing daily challenge. Be entered to win one of 5 STRADA Easels by drawing upon finishing the challenge!
We are allowing participants to use Instagram or Facebook.
All painting, drawing and digital media are acceptable as long as you are working from life.
Working from life does NOT include working from TV, Zoom, or a computer screen.
It is not necessary to complete your piece in one day. However, there must be a noticeable difference in the work between days and each day must be from life. Toning a canvas or varnishing a painting do not qualify as painting from life.
Note: Please do not wait for a confirmation from STRADA before beginning the challenge on September 1. In the past there have been glitches on Instagram and Facebook where the confirmation message wasn't sent. Continue to reach out to us to confirm your registration but keep painting in the meantime.
Before September 1st:
If you are using Facebook
Day 1 #stradaeasel
Using the hashtag allows us to better track and share your progress on the STRADA group's Facebook page. We will share your work to the STRADA page twice a month.
We will send out a list each week with the names of those who are still in the challenge. It is your responsibility to make sure your name is on the list. If you are not on the list we are not seeing your posts. Please message us on facebook or instagram
If you are using Instagram
Day 1 #stradaeasel
Throughout September:
We will send out a list each week with the names of those who are still in the challenge. It is your responsibility to make sure your name is on the list. If you are not on the list we are not seeing your posts. Please message us on facebook or instagram
After September 30:
If possible-at the end of the month post an image/collage of all of the paintings you have produced during the Challenge on your personal Facebook/Instagram page. This is not mandatory but is a great way to show the work you have done.
If you have drawn or painted and posted each day for thirty days straight, (the entire month of September) and followed all of the above rules, you will be qualified to win a STRADA Easel of your choice.
Several days after the end of the challenge we will post a list of the artists who have completed the challenge. It is your responsibility to check and make sure your name is on that list. We are not liable for participants contacting us after the drawing has occurred.
Winner's will be announced live within the week after the challenge ends.
In order to enter the challenge, you must be 18 years of age or older. If you are an international artist and win an easel we ask that you pay for shipping costs beyond $25 and you will be responsible for payment of any additional tariffs or taxes. (Check with your country's regulations...some require up to 35% tariff on the value of the easel.)
In order to get the most out of your 31 day challenge keep three things in mind:
1.Set a clear goal. 2. Use mindful repetition. 3. Have regular feedback.
You can share your STRADA hacks or check out the adaptations other artists have made to their STRADA systems by using the hashtag #stradaeaselhacks on Facebook or Instagram.
Outdoor painting is a sport as well as an art and the right equipment can make all the difference. Please check with your doctor before participating in any athletic activity. Paint Responsibly!
