I am so glad I came across this video before August. I did do 8 paintings from acrylic April last year. A month later my 44 year old daughter was diagnosed with rare lung cancer with absolutely no risk factors. She passed away on April 30 th. Sorry to tell you about my grief, I have been thinking of starting painting again. This seems like a perfect opportunity. Thanks to Art Sherpa. Hope this will help emotionally .🙏🏾

So saddened to hear of your great loss. Sending you love and light.

@felicagriswold7276 2 месяца назад

I started these when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. It was a place I could rest my brain. That first year I only did a few but I’m okay not doing them all. In 2021 I did them all! I very much appreciate the time and effort it takes you and Jon to do these. Your tutorials are clear and easy to understand. Thank you and I’m looking forward to getting started.

@suev4143 2 месяца назад

Thank you for all your hard work to make this challenge happen! You are amazing (don't ever forget that - and that goes for everyone on your team)!❤ A note of encouragement: Even if a 30/31 day challenge takes you 300/310 days, but you finish, you still meet the challenge! Be proud of trying, and no matter how many paintings you complete, be proud of yourself and your accomplishments. Enjoy the challenge, the fun, and learning and growing and developing your skills as an artist. Have fun everyone, and enjoy Acrylic August!

Oh! Thank you! I forgot about this! I'm living in a disorganized MIL suite and have been feeling oh so blah. I have tons of art supplies but no dedicated space to paint. I watched this yesterday morning and spent the entire day reorangizing and clearing clutter. I made my space and am ready to paint again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜♥

I’ve been here for a number of year and am excited to hop on the Sherpa Acrylic August this year! Always a good creative chat and tips. Daily painting is extremely helpful as your brain will gain strength just as an athlete strengthens his/her body by daily workouts! Hugs to you and Jon- I enjoy your journey as much as my own.

My health issues make April an especially challenging time of year to do daily painting, so I am excited that this year will be August. Cheering for us all to have a wonderful time growing and sharing!

I can’t wait to get started. This will be my third challenge with you. I did 21,23and now 24. It was in 21 when I first picked up a brush with paint. You and your mom inspired me. Now I paint with other artist on line. I will always come back to do your challenges when I can. Love you. You are truly my inspiration. I hope to meet you someday at one of your work shops. Happy painting 😀😊

Hi Cinnamon! I am so happy you are better! I hurt my knee January 1 and was not able to have surgery until May 16. The recovery and mental health of the journey and not being able to walk or do the things I love doing was definitely a mental health struggle. I am a little behind because I forgot we moved this year to August! I am still unable to walk fully without crutches. But definitely healing slowly. This is going to be so helpful. I am just completely thankful for you and John and want to say thank you so much for all you do for us. I am so glad you are healing and welcome back! ❤️❤️❤️

I enjoy your tutorials very much. Always learn something. I'm a Facebook groupie too. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love to paint outside when the weather permits. And I live in Ontario Canada, so that less than half a year. August is hot and humid so this will be 😊 fun.

My son went through something similar. Even though I watched your video, I didn’t realize how much he was “struggling” like you. Looking back, as his Mom, I should have shared your video. It might have opened up a conversation. He is on the road to recovery. Again thank you and John for all that you do ❤

It’s hard when you go through mental problems, I haven’t had it as bad as you, but I have weeks or months that I will go into the studio and can’t pick up a brush, I will draw the subject, prepare everything, sit down and then I will leave it. I doubt my abilities, yet I know I can do it, even once I painted it I will not like it, but weeks later looking at them I think ‘yes I painted that well, I like it”

@cindywomack676 Месяц назад

I've been following along on the FB page. I am waiting until October to do the entire challenge because I'm traveling off and on until then. I did have to cheat and do the elephant because it's just so stinkin' cute! But what I really came here to say is that you look great, Cinnamon! AND I'm super psyched that we have officially been given the word that donuts are ok for getting through Acrylic August! What else could we ask for?!

@lesley523 Месяц назад

Hi Cinnamon, thanks for answering my other message to you a few days ago! Need some advice! Trying to put together Paint Alongs for extra income & something easy to do, & it requires some initial investment. Need budget friendly advice for brushes. Thinking maybe two flats, two rounds, and a liner brush for each person. Sets have too many sizes. Will keep canvas to about 11 x 14-ish. Should I get tube paints, or liquid acrylic, or craft paints? Do I need table easels or can we use a rolled towel or tube to prop the little canvases on? Would probably need this for maybe 12 to 15 people. Thanks. Lesley from Boynton Beach, Florida 😊
