And if you create one a day, you are more disciplined than me, because I usually binge and do a few every day. ;)<br/><br/>#artchallenge #art #artstr #gm #nostronly #grownostr <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/2izRCQ8aF4ViJxfQ.jpg"> 2025-01-01T21:15:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrl2ptm3zxylaa2k3vltknql57jhh8pz6uc2px8nc0908nkmp5auszype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtyvxs084 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdazk5atdd0jhjmkt2fr6z2uyxhnedpnax70a633kd4su9tra8k6s2069x8'>nevent1q…69x8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Fun - I’d never have thought of embroidery on canvas!

Or art from last year. Or art from years ago. <br/><br/>I’ve also made a tracker if you’d like to use it to keep yourself motivated (second image) - check the box after you’ve made your past art post to #nostr <br/><br/>And if you don’t have any past art to post …. maybe you want to make some art in 2025 …. ? I’ll be post monthly art challenges to this account if you want to follow along.<br/><br/>For all the past art you post this month, please use the hashtag #nostrartstrDec2024 - thanks!<br/><br/>* The little doodle people in the promo images is from a Skillshare class I took this year.<br/><br/> #pastart #artchallenge #art #artstr <br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/rlE9FVV5ykAwt84f.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/B0Vdb695pd7Xp02K.jpg"> 2024-12-01T22:13:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs89908ksskpv36g6gz3j42fk2260amt73hdsv8lvclszdaet7shuszype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtyw6ee6m Colors &amp; Emotions &amp; Meanings, oh my! <br/><br/>If you’re interested in which colors tend to have what significance and relate to which emotions (with some differences across cultures), here’s a quick article with some basics: <a href="https://99designs.com/blog/tips/how-color-impacts-emotions-and-behaviors/">https://99designs.com/blog/tips/how-color-impacts-emotions-and-behaviors/</a><br/><br/>If you want to freedom to pick a specific color (my personal favorite is Navy Blue), then check out the Canvas Color Meanings &amp; Symbolism webpage: <a href="https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/">https://www.canva.com/colors/color-meanings/</a> …. to read a few fun facts, see related color palettes, and all the numbers you need to create that color including the traditional Hex, CMYK, web safe and binary (?!) values. <br/><br/>Maybe even take time over the next few days to play with colors that soothe and relax you, just in case there might be some incoming stress in your life at the end of this month.<br/><br/>Image: <a href="https://www.usertesting.com/blog/color-ux-conversion-rates">https://www.usertesting.com/blog/color-ux-conversion-rates</a><br/><br/>#inspiration #nostrartstrNov2024 #color #artchallenge #art #artstr #emotions #psychology <br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/oWHKUibMayqbwRIK.jpg"> 2024-11-24T20:29:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvnh8wxv6rcj8vk8gp3m0elvrwkvqpq448f4swkysvm92vmy33fmczype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtymgtfrw If you like a simple doodle style of illustration, Johanna Basford (who got the world into adult coloring books) has several free downloads on her blog: <br/><br/><a href="https://www.johannabasford.com/downloads/">https://www.johannabasford.com/downloads/</a><br/><br/>I really like her Small Victories set. <br/><br/>Great, easy way to participate in the November Art Challenge if you want to download some illustrations and just color. <br/><br/>Other fun options ...<br/> - pick one illustration and color it only in a single color<br/> - use that same illustration and color it again, this time with a different single color <br/><br/><br/>#inspiration #nostrartstrNov2024 #color #artchallenge #art #artstr #johannabasford #doodleart <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/8Or0oHt4zhZHwUwl.jpg"> 2024-11-04T23:46:54Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvvk8xk2d23055mralrnh0wrd2fcfzzu4mh3zws4xeeu0jtnteh6gzype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxty0zj886 If you’d like to see how one person did a single color challenge, check out this video playlist from Ten Hundred: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjvuq1J91QkYE2Nv-QQopXXv0mPKsagKh">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjvuq1J91QkYE2Nv-QQopXXv0mPKsagKh</a><br/><br/>He painted some awesome stuff using shades and tones of a single color.

Basics are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. <br/><br/>Or pick your own colors, if you prefer pink, brown, turquoise, black, white, or peridot. <br/><br/>It’s your art challenge, make it something you want to accomplish. <br/><br/>I’m going to be swatching out tubes of watercolor and …. doing something with the swatches. Not sure yet what.<br/><br/>I’m more of a binger than a daily person, so my goal is 30 bits of art by the end of the month. Given that the day is half over, I’m going to clean my art desk and start swatching tomorrow. <br/><br/>Free tracker available at <a href="https://www.nostrartstr.com/">https://www.nostrartstr.com/</a> if you want one to print and keep visible during the month as a bit of a poke … I mean, motivation. ;)<br/><br/>Please use #nostrartstrNov2024 if you share your art - I’d love to see what you create. <br/><br/>#artchallenge #art #artstr #nostrartstr #nostronly #grownostr #plebchain <br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/DmKwj9Ifw9qfWrJU.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/cGzzpldtbC5byD6W.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/eMc2dNR8H4PJ3yEg.jpg"> 2024-11-01T22:33:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgf9d5whltgp44fmrhayevw4u0kprdue3mw2t3dfv8hyv8f58lnjszype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtywpg7a3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrpk24ml6yedpk4mrueet8dmg54dpqdrhw96ccknshkkrp2tyejccylvl0l'>nevent1q…vl0l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>😂 2024-10-29T16:36:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdcuexfqzk34eellc0w5p6tsslhml60z8apqsjvlmtv5lplkk8gkszype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtywaj2xm I&#39;ve added 6 word lists to the Turd Soup Marketplace: Red Things, Orange Things, etc., for the November NostrArtstr Challenge: Play with Color. <br/><br/><a href="https://turdsoup.com/">https://turdsoup.com/</a> is a random word generator created by <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub12r0yjt8723ey2r035qtklhmdj90f0j6an7xnan8005jl7z5gw80qat9qrx" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>₿igfoot</span> (<span class="italic">npub12r0…9qrx</span>)</a></span> - very cool stuff where you can create your own word lists or import word lists from their Marketplace.

I used the hashtag #nostrichnovember on my Rustypuppy account (<a href="https://rustypuppy.npub.pro/tag/nostrichnovember/">https://rustypuppy.npub.pro/tag/nostrichnovember/</a>) to create French Fashion Nostriches of the 1920s. <br/><br/>In 2024, I started this account, NostrArtstr, with the November Challenge: Play With Color, using the hashtag #nostrartstrNov2024<br/><br/><br/><br/> 2024-10-27T21:03:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszd0jv7kdaegtv9ue47qysn0ep599ac9qqt4rj676nsuczt0gjgyczype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtyhd4d88 The first NostrArtstr Art Challenge will be this November! <br/><br/>#huevember is a common art challenge online, one I did a few years ago. For NostrArtstr, I’ve simplified the colors down to the basic ROYGBV: red, yellow, orange, green yellow, blue, purple. <br/><br/>If you want to participate every day, spend 5 days per color. <br/><br/>If you want to participate every 5 days, spend a day with each color. <br/><br/>The amount of art stuff you do it up to you, because the Purpose of a NostrArtstr challenge is that, by the end of the month, you’ve created more than if you hadn’t taken the challenge. <br/><br/>As for What to Do …. That’s also up to you. <br/><br/>Paint, collage, create color swatches (what I’m doing), make a color wheel, create color palettes, draw with markers or crayons In Real Life or digitally, cut up strips of fabric, knit, crochet, braid colored string - whatever you want to interact with color in your chosen way. <br/><br/>In the coming days, I’ll be adding links and downloads to the NostrArtstr npub.pro website. <br/><br/>For now, think about how you’d like to participate, because I’d love to see what you create. <br/><br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/c5QTnPBaZjogTQBx.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://i.nostr.build/Bcdxz1OkXqmZxv9g.jpg"> 2024-10-23T19:38:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8jnycngt97emkexf25sgg3xha5z9kv5epeqdq3gzxd2zgx6cwkkgzype59yj5erhv7ns4cc8nh325qd459cz6j9ryejww0drssqpdjqxtys79nra Profile image, banner, and website looking good.
