Happy New Year, Friends! 🎉 2022 is going to be the most exciting year ever for ColorByFeliks, and I don’t say that lightly! I know this post is a little late, but Andrea, myself, and our awesome business team have been tirelessly planning what we’re going to do this year to bring you more art, more learning, more inspiration, and more FUN, 🥳 and we wanted to make sure the plan was solid before we shared 😎. I can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store. Stick around to the end for a REALLY big announcement.  Sharing The...

ColorByFeliks has always been about you, the artists. My paintings are a good entry point for people into this community, but at the end of the day, our community is about providing inspiration and resources to any and all people who love making art, regardless of their skill level.

So in that spirit, I would love to...
