30 Day Art Prompt Journey
A fresh way into your painting practice
Want to paint but keep getting stuck before you begin? Or have you been painting for years and feel you’ve hit a wall?
This journey offers 30 prompts and four guided meditations to help you explore, experiment, and listen more closely to your own creative voice. Discover what inspires you, follow unexpected possibilities, and find a rhythm that works for you. Take it at your own pace, returning to the prompts whenever your practice needs fresh energy.

Your journey includes 30 art prompts organized around four weekly themes: the senses, your creative rhythm, inspired muses, and symbols. Each week begins with a guided meditation introducing the theme and inviting you to slow down and listen inward. Bonus material introduces other artists and references to inspire further exploration.
Bring the prompts into your painting, drawing, or mixed media practice using materials you’re curious about. Spend five minutes or an afternoon exploring—there’s no pressure to finish in 30 days.
Follow the journey in sequence or return to a prompt whenever you need a fresh way into your work.
Find your own way into the work
There isn’t one way to be an artist. Your materials, your rhythms, and the things that draw your attention are all part of discovering your own voice.
In this journey, I invite you to loosen your expectations and experiment. Follow a color, a shape, a memory, or a surprising mark. Let what happens on the page lead you somewhere you hadn’t planned.
Through making and reflecting, you begin to recognize what feels alive in your work—and what you want to explore further.
