🌷 April Art Challenge 2024 [FULL LIST]
April Art Challenge 2024 list is here!
In this post, I’ll provide you with an extensive list of the 16 Instagram April art challenges.
Plein Airpril
Hashtag: #pleinairpril
Description: Rules are simple: paint and post every day in April. Painting from life is highly encouraged but not a necessity; if you prefer painting from photos – go for it. This year, recommended themes are: 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩, 𝙊𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣, 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣.
Extra note 1: I have warm feeling towards this particular art challenge. This is the first (and only 😅) monthly art challenge I managed to complete up ’till now. It was hard, but worth it. These 30 days of drawing everyday really transformed my artstyle and I learn a lot. Plus, by sheer accident, I got 1,200 Instagram followers.
Extra note 2: One thing I found very interesting is that this year, the organizers of the Plein Airpril art challenge are collaborating with Cara. Cara is a new social media and portfolio platform for artists . One of its standout features is the capability to filter out AI-generated images, fostering a safer space for human artists to share their work. Some time ago, I created a list of social media platforms for artist, but I haven’t heard about Cara back then. Gonna have to update that blogpost, I guess!
Letter With Shannon
Hashtag: #LetterWithShannon
Description: We’re brewing up a storm for the April #LetterWithShannon challenge! The theme is “April Showers” so it’s all about weather this month […]🌦️ Create the prompts using any medium you want: brush pens, watercolors, digitally ….. it’s your choice!

Spirimal Challenge
Hashtag: #spirimalchallenge
Description: Last year one of the most liked challenge prompt lists was April’s, the one with the whimsical world of punny animals in floral settings! So this year I decided continue the theme and add some floral puns to this month’s challenge! As we enter the spring season, let’s draw ourselves flowers! 🎨🌺🌻
Blossom In April

Pesce D’Aprile
