Painting Challenge: Rainforests

April 21, 2023 / Diann Zimmerman

Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems. They are complex and diverse, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species. A 10 square kilometer area can contain as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies. Rainforests are called the lungs of the planet for their role in absorbing carbon dioxide. They help stabilize the climate, producing rainfall all around Earth.

To honor Earth Day… let’s share paintings of rainforests.

Paint the animals and plants of a rainforest.

What is the prize?

Our sponsor this week is Anna Mason Online School. One random winner will receive a 6 month subscription to her online school! I’ve been a member of Anna’s online school for almost 2 years. The tutorials are very detailed, includes outlines, and step by step video instruction. Her list of tutorials are amazing. I want to do all of them!

She offers a free Pear tutorial. Check it out! Follow her instructions, and it’s amazing what you can do!

Anna says, “You don’t need ‘talent’ to do what you see here. You need to practice using a method you can trust. It’s quicker and easier than you think.”
