5-Day Pet Portrait Challenge: LIVE EXPERIENCE

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re joining us for the LIVE 5-Day Pet Portrait Challenge.

Beginning July 25, we’ll paint Charlie one simple section at a time. By July 29, you’ll have completed a pet portrait of your own.

Whether this is your first pet portrait or your fiftieth, you’re in the right place.

Before Day 1, please take a few minutes to work through the information on this page.

You’ll learn how the challenge works, how to join our private community, what to do before we begin, and how to enter the live challenge giveaway.

Once you have completed the checklist below, you’ll be ready to paint with us on June 27.

📅 July 25 – 29, 2026

A new lesson will arrive in your inbox each day. I recommend setting aside about 20 minutes daily to complete it. Remember, the goal isn’t to paint a perfect portrait. The goal is simply to keep moving forward, one section at a time, until Charlie comes to life on your canvas.

Meet Charlie

This is the portrait we’ll be painting during the challenge.

How the Challenge Works

Each day:

1. Open the email announcing your new lesson.

2. Complete the lesson inside this Challenge Portal.

3. Share your progress, questions, wins, or breakthroughs inside our private community (on Telegram).

That’s it.

One small step each day adds up to something remarkable.


Join the Live Challenge Community

Our private Telegram group is where the live challenge experience happens. While the lessons live inside the Challenge Portal, this is where we’ll celebrate progress, answer questions, encourage one another, and cheer each other on throughout the week.

Inside the group, you can:

  • Share your progress
  • Ask questions
  • Celebrate wins
  • Encourage fellow artists
  • Receive updates and reminders

Every artist begins somewhere. Sharing your progress – even when it feels unfinished or a little scary – is often what gives someone else the courage to keep going.

A Quick Reminder

This challenge is not about creating a perfect painting.
It’s about learning a process.
It’s about building confidence.
It’s about discovering what you’re capable of when you simply keep showing up.

Trust the process.
Stay curious.
Keep going.

Five days from now, you’ll be looking at a pet portrait that doesn’t exist today.

I can’t wait to see what you create.

Warmly,
Erica
