Guess the first Bootcamp Assignment

Thank you to everyone who entered. This competition is now closed. You can find out the answer and the winner here!

 

Dear Everyone,

Let’s play! Guess the first Bootcamp Assignment e-course mini assignment and WIN:
–a signed copy of my book (with a secret message),
–a free place in the Bootcamp e-course (If you have already signed up for Bootcamp, you will get a full refund!),
–and this necklace made by me!

Assignment Bootcamp is an inspiring, motivating 5-month art assignment e-course geared toward helping you make some great, marketable art in your own style. Each month starts with drawing a mini-topic. In the past, mini-topics included Bavarian cuckoo clocks, Ship in a bottle, and vintage gelatin (Jell-o) molds. From your drawings, you are given an assignment that is geared to a specific, hot market that buys art. Read more about it here. There is still time to sign up, by the way.

Join us! It’s very fun.
The first person to guess the mini assignment exactly right will win, and the winner will be announced on January 5th, which is the first day of Bootcamp class. There is no cash alternative.
Leave your guess in the comments below, and have fun with this!

  • Hmmm, I’m thinking with the book picture, there seems to be a selection of vintage buttons and you also placed a turquoise pencil crayon on the book too. As well as on the necklace, there are accents of turquoise on it. So I’m guessing the first assignent has to do with those two things; Turquoise and vintage buttons.
