10-Minute Art Challenge: Paint Portugal Without Overthinking 🇵🇹🎨

We move to Portugal TODAY, so I thought this would be a fun challenge/tutorial to post this weekend. Join me for a 10-minute watercolor challenge inspired by Portugal 🇵🇹 — an exercise designed to help you stop overthinking and start feeling your way through the paint. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. In just ten minutes, I’ll show you how I use time pressure to quiet the inner critic and connect more deeply with color, movement, and intuition. Whether you're stuck in your head or just want to loosen up your process, this challenge is the perfect reset. 🧠 → 🎨 Less thinking. More feeling. Want to try it too? Grab your paints, set a timer, and tag me if you post your version. #10minutechallenge #watercolorportugal #intuitivepainting #watercolorpractice #paintwithme #watercolorchallenge #loosenup #expressiveart #watercolorflow #creativeexercise 🎨 Want a list of my favorite painting supplies?
