Using Art for
Getting in Gear
& Just Being You
It is always best practice to continue improving yourself. Doesn't matter how small, big, mixture or whatever - never stop. This month's challenge is a practice for Inktober - the international drawing with ink challenge annually in October. September is the to gain our focus by doing at least a few of the September Art Challenge. And to get you excited about Inktober, we've put together a special Official BeauxArts Fine Art Materials Unofficial Inktober Kit (see below).
We've pulled together more great FREE at home activities (September Art Challenge, Check Ins, Virtual Workshops, etc...) for you to follow along listed below. If you need materials for these projects, your own or others, always feel free to contact us for a VIP Appointment.
BeauxArts Fine Art Materials is here to help you use the power of art - as always. The Arts are more important than ever to explore. I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes a day to be creative with whatever sparks YOU. Even the simple things.
Wishing you, your family, neighbors and friends all the best!!! Below are some fun creative opportunities for you!
