About Daily Spitpaint:

The daily spitpaint activity was started in May 2013 by Atey Ghailan and Ross Grams. They had heard Craig Mullins talk about how professional artists need to schedule "sandbox time" to try out new techniques, get out of their comfort zone, and not be afraid to fail completely. So they met on Skype each day, came up with topics, and painted them for 30 minutes. Soon it grew to roughly the current "founding team" of 6 or 7 artists. We started http://spitpainting.tumblr.com/ to post all our own speedpaints, but before long we got so many requests to join that we decided to create this Facebook group."Spitpainting" is supposed to be a hard exercise. It's to train you to generate ideas fast, paint fast, and get out of your comfort zone. You are supposed to fail. There is no "finish", you're done when the timer beeps. Think of it as a thumbnail. If you want the Real Daily Spitpaint challenge, take a random topic and start the timer immediately, so you don't have any extra time to brainstorm. You can also add other challenges like "round brush only", "no opacity control", "start with a bright pink background and leave it showing through", "lasso and gradient tools only", "paint with your right foot/tail", etc. PLEASE NOTE: This group is for a very specific activity. This is not a forum for you to share your current thoughts, chronicle your existence, post videos or music that you like, look for photoshop brushes, get private tutoring, ask for life advice, advertise your project, acquire cheap art, or anything else besides on-topic, 30-minute speedpaintings. There are lots of places to do that other stuff, but this group is not one of them.
