From September 1–30, 2025, artists of all levels commit to creating one drawing or painting from life each day—no photos, no AI, just real observation.

Participants may work in any medium and select any subject (still life, landscape, portrait, etc.), provided it is created from direct observation of life.

📅 When: September 1–30, 2025

🖌 What: One piece from life each day

📸 How: Post with #stradaeasel and the day (ex: Day 1 #stradaeasel)

🏆 Why: Build consistency, sharpen your skills, and complete all 30 days for a chance to win a Strada Easel

Posts must be shared by midnight each day to qualify for prizes.

But the challenge isn’t just about winning—it’s about community, growth, and creative discipline. Many artists join simply to stay motivated and inspired.

🌟 Local Connection: Share your work with both hashtags—#stradaeasel #creamerycreative—to participate in the global challenge and connect with our Creamery community.

One month. One piece a day. A stronger, more confident artist.
