If you HAVE already received your participation number for August, you can find the monthly information below. There are downloadable PDF versions of the theme list and translated versions of the list available, too. (Find the download section below the photos of the theme list). A copy of the theme list is also added to the “Featured Posts” section of the Inspiration to Paint group.
Attention! Signups for the August Challenge WILL CLOSE on August 10th! To officially participate in the Inspiration to Paint challenge on Facebook, you need to SIGN UP to receive a participation number for the month. If you have NOT signed up yet, please send a message to us here: http://m.me/InspirationtoPaint/
If you do NOT have an August participation number, you may still follow along if you want the practice, but please share your work in our “Inspiration to Paint FAMILY” group here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/inspirationtopaintfamily/, instead of the Main Challenge group! You do not need to use any hashtags if you aren’t officially signed up.
Signups will reopen for the SEPTEMBER 2024 challenge in the later part of August.
If you are not signed up, you may only share your work in the Inspiration to Paint Family group and will not qualify for the monthly prize. You MAY enter the optional mini contests, if you like.

~~Body Painting is only allowed when specified on the calendar, this includes backs and belly paints! Body Paint models should be 18 years of age or older, please!
~On ANY theme day, please try to keep the subject matter suitable for general audiences. Please remember that we have members of all ages and backgrounds in the group. Also, please try to avoid controversial statements and comments when posting in the group. We ask for a NO POLITICS policy in posts and comments, please. If you have any problems, do not engage with the post, just report the post or comment and/or tell the admin team, and trust that we will deal with it.
~Your hashtags for the month should be included on EVERY daily post. It is helpful to save them to a “note” on your phone or computer, so it’s easy to copy and paste them into your post each day. Please type them carefully so your posts don’t get lost.
For this month, the Official hashtags are:
#(Your first name and your August participation number) with NO spaces. For example, mine is #marie1 Note: Find your participation number in the Facebook message you were sent when you signed up.
#(Your hometown or area and facepainter) with NO spaces. Example: #newjerseyfacepainter
#ITPFamily (for our August Sponsor)
#inspirationtopaint
#August2024challenge
Our August challenge is sponsored by an ITP Friend
Take the opportunity to interact with your fellow Artists and offer kind words and encouragement
You might end up making a new friend or two!
Any questions about the challenge, ask in the Inspiration to Paint Family group or ask your admin team.
Please remember to be KIND to others and to YOURSELF!!! Putting down your own work also affects others who are inspired by you! No need to apologize for a “bad” design or look for faults…look for the positive things, or lessons you learned instead. 🙂 ❤ Please refrain from self-derogatory remarks on your posts, and constructive criticism of others, too. Only kind and supportive comments please!
The whole point of the group is to INSPIRE you to practice and paint as often as possible! So if you miss a day (or two, or five….), keep on painting and posting, as often as you are able for the month!
