Brush Rush

Set a timer for 60 minutes and paint a model from start to finish. No overthinking, no endless tweaking — commit to your choices, trust your instincts, and get it done. Speed painting, contrast methods, limited palettes, whatever gets you across the finish line. Paint anything you want, just make it happen in an hour or less.

What's in it for you

All participants will be entered into a raffle to win a one-hour private coaching session with Lyla Mev — a professional miniature painter, YouTuber, and art educator known for her bold use of color and story-driven work.

This live, virtual session is tailored to you. Use the time to learn specific techniques, tackle complex topics like color theory, get personalized feedback on your work, or plan your next project with a guided digital sketch.

Requirements: A camera that can show your workspace (for example, a phone on a camera mount pointed at your desk). Lessons can be hosted on Google Meet, Discord, or Zoom.

Scheduling: Lessons are available between 7:00 AM–9:00 PM Central Time.
