“It gave me a lot of joy for 20 minutes focusing on an easy-to-follow challenge without life’s distractions. I needed a new source of joy, and I’m very happy I did it! I felt very positive at the end of the challenge. I even tagged on a daily walk and sent a few finished paintings to friends.”

— Gerda, painter from Virginia

MEET YOUR PAINTING GUIDE

Give me 20 minutes a day, and I’ll help you make painting part of your life again.

You don’t need to figure out what to paint. You don’t need hours of uninterrupted time. And you don’t need to wait until you feel inspired.

For 22 days, I’ll guide you through a simple daily painting practice designed to help you quiet the noise, loosen your grip on perfection, and reconnect with the part of you that simply wants to create.

Every day, you’ll receive a new painting subject or creative prompt, simple steps to help you begin, and a personal audio message from me to guide you into the day’s practice.

We’ll paint flowers, animals, everyday objects, landscapes and expressive prompts. Along the way, I’ll invite you to experiment with color, change perspective, leave a painting unfinished, return to it the next day, follow your own inspiration and discover what your painting practice can look like.

Because the goal isn’t 22 perfect paintings.

The goal is to make painting somewhere you know how to return to.

EVERYTHING YOU RECEIVE

Everything you need to simply start.

✦ 22 DAYS OF GUIDED PAINTING

Each day brings a different subject or creative prompt so you never have to wonder what to paint. You’ll explore flowers, animals, landscapes, everyday objects and more expressive exercises designed to awaken your own creativity.

✦ 22 PERSONAL AUDIO MESSAGES FROM ME

Pop in your earbuds and let me guide you into the day’s practice. These short audio messages go beyond painting instructions to help you move through resistance, release perfectionism, reconnect with inspiration and understand what we’re practicing that day.

✦ A SIMPLE 20-MINUTE PRACTICE

This challenge is designed to fit into your actual life. Set a gentle timer for 20 minutes and paint. Some days you may feel called to continue. Other days, 20 minutes is enough.

Both count.

✦ SIMPLE PAINTING STEPS + REFERENCES

Inside your private course portal, you’ll find each day’s reference painting, sketch when applicable, and easy-to-follow written instructions to help you begin.

You’re never expected to copy my painting perfectly. The reference gives you somewhere to begin. What happens next belongs to you.

✦ A PRIVATE TELEGRAM COMMUNITY — optional

You won’t be painting alone. Each daily challenge has its own conversation where you can share your painting, reflect on the prompt, and see how other artists interpreted the exact same subject.

It’s a beautiful reminder that there is never just one “right” way to create.

You can complete the entire challenge inside your course portal. But if you’d like to experience the challenge alongside me and the community, you’re invited into our private Telegram space, where I’ll also share each day’s audio guidance.

✦ A PAINTING PRACTICE YOU CAN KEEP

This is the part that matters most.

Throughout the challenge, I’ll help you practice beginning, stopping, returning, experimenting, following inspiration and making room for creativity without requiring the perfect circumstances.

On Day 22, we’ll bring everything together and look at how you can carry your new creative momentum forward.

Because every time you sit down, pick up your brush and give yourself those 20 minutes, you’re strengthening something much more valuable than a single finished painting:

Your relationship with your creativity.

STUDENT PAINTINGS

ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME

No two paintings will look the same. That’s the point.

You’re not here to copy me perfectly. You’re here to see what happens when you give yourself permission to paint.

Beginner? Welcome. Haven’t painted for years? Welcome back. Experienced painter who has lost your spark? Come paint with us.

There’s room for you here.

WHY 20 MINUTES?

Because you don’t need hours of free time to become someone who paints.

Twenty minutes is long enough to settle in, pick up your brush and make something — but short enough to fit into a real life.

You don’t need to clear your afternoon.
You don’t need to wait for the house to be quiet.
You don’t need to feel inspired before you begin.

You simply give yourself 20 minutes.

And over 22 days, those small pockets of time begin to add up to something much bigger:

A painting practice that actually belongs in your life.

LEARN with ERICA ERIKSDOTTER

I’ve been painting for more than 35 years. And I still know what it’s like to lose my creative flow.

I’m Erica Eriksdotter, a third-generation painter. I sold my first painting at age 10 and have spent more than 35 years returning to the easel through all kinds of seasons of life.

My work has been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, and other national and international media, and today I teach people how to develop both their painting skills and a deeper trust in themselves as artists.

But this challenge isn’t about teaching you to paint like me.

It’s about helping you make painting part of your life.

Because after all these years, one thing I know for certain is that creativity doesn’t require perfect circumstances.

Sometimes it simply requires picking up the brush again.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING

Do I need painting experience?

Not at all. This challenge is designed for all skill levels, whether you’ve never painted before, haven’t picked up a brush in years, or already paint and simply want to reconnect with your creative practice.

What supplies will I need?

You don’t need anything elaborate. I’ll give you a simple suggested supply list before we begin. I paint with acrylics, but the heart of this challenge is the practice—not having the “perfect” supplies.

What does “LIVE September 1-22” mean?

We’re moving through the 22-Day Painting Challenge together beginning September 1. Each day, you’ll receive the day’s painting prompt, simple instructions, and audio guidance as we make our way through the challenge together.

If you’d like to share the experience with the community, you can also join us inside our private Telegram space, where I’ll share the daily audio and invite you to share your painting and join the conversation.

What if I miss a day or fall behind?

That’s okay. This isn’t another thing to be perfect at. Pick up where you left off and keep painting.

How long will I have access?

You’ll have access to the complete 22-Day Painting Challenge inside your course portal for one full year, giving you plenty of time to move through the challenge at your own pace or return to your favorite days again later.

And if you fall behind during our LIVE September challenge, don’t worry. Your access doesn’t end when the 22 days are over.

Do I need Telegram to participate?

No. You can complete the entire 22-Day Painting Challenge through the private course portal. Telegram is our optional community space, where you can share your paintings for others to enjoy, respond to the daily community questions, and see what everyone else is creating.

YOU DON’T NEED TO WAIT UNTIL YOU FEEL MORE CREATIVE.
You become more creative by creating.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself you’ll paint when life calms down.
When you have more time.
When you feel inspired again.

But your creativity doesn’t need you to rearrange your entire life. It just needs a little room to breathe.

Twenty minutes. One painting at a time. For 22 days.

I’ll be there to tell you what we’re painting, help you begin, and invite you to pick up your brush alongside a community of people doing the same thing.

You don’t need to arrive inspired.

You just need to begin.

Come paint with us.
