Every year we try to come up with an idea that will inspire you and help you try something different; push yourself just that little bit further. It's all too easy to stick with what you know and coast along, but with a little added impetus you could be achieving even greater things.
This year's SAA Challenge is to create a work of art in a week - but to do it in short bursts. Every day you have just 30 minutes to sit and work on your picture. No more, no less. The idea behind this is to help you look at a piece of work with fresh eyes and hopefully bring something new into each sitting.
When you've completed this year's SAA Challenge we'd love to hear how you got on. Entries should be sent marked '
