Responding to some questions :

1) Can I post at night ?
Yes, of course. If you're from a place with a different time zone, you can post anytime!

2) Can I add the official account as collaborator when posting?
Yes, you can – and it actually makes things easier for us! However, we get a lot of requests and we cannot feature everyone as Instagram doesn't like when we overshare. If we don't feature you one day, please do not feel bad as it's not because we didn't like it!

3) We both wait for each other to post our own paintings before sharing other content, as it's a nice way for us to celebrate a new day of the challenge :)

4) Can I join for only one day, or in the middle of the challenge?
Of course! Anybody can join at any time (even afterwards) 🙌

Thank you all for sharing your beautiful art with us, for being such a kind and respectful community, and for being patient with us while we figure things out. It takes a lot of time to interact with everyone, and we're doing our best 💙 by @drawthealps

Painting the snowy Alps this January was a true little blast 🏔️💙 I enjoyed it so much, it’s given my practice a new perspective and dimension and I cannot wait to see where it all takes me. January so far it’s been quite amazing, I cannot ask for more really well apart from a bit more sunshine right now 😀☀️

Thanks to @petit.crocus and @alexiawinterhalter for their winter edition for @drawthealps 💙🏔️

Kleines flip through durch die @drawthealps Winter Challenge. Fand die Challenge sooo toll und hat war der perfekte produktive und kreative Start ins Jahr. 🥹✨

Für 2026 habe ich viel vor und grosse Ziele und ich bin durch die letzten Wochen meinem Ziel ein Stück näher gekommen. Ich möchte nämlich unter anderem neue Medien und Techniken ausprobieren und Landschaften malen, was ich erfolgreich hiermit begonnen habe.
Dies war erst der Anfang! ☺️✨🫶🏻

Es ist unglaublich schön zu sehen, wie viele andere Künstler @alexiawinterhalter und @petit.crocus inspiriert haben und was alles für tolle Werke bei dieser Challenge entstanden sind.
Thank you so so much for making this challenge, giving the reference photos and for the great connections I made during this challenge. 🫶🏻💕

Meine liebsten Bilder sind die Letzten beiden. 🫶🏻

I’m catching up on the @drawthealps challenge, and this piece is for Day 5 of the #drawthealpschallenge 🤍
I loved this one - and I’ve been so close to it that I can’t really see it anymore 🙈 but I think it glows the way it should 🤩💞
Thank you again to @alexiawinterhalter and @petit.crocus for the inspiration! This is so funnnn!! 🤩💞✨ taken in The Alps by @drawthealps

Such a fun week!!! Even though I missed a couple days, I had a blast painting the most majestic snowy mountains and a controversially cute goat. Looking back, this was amazing productive way to start the year woohoooo

Thanks our hosts @petit.crocus and @alexiawinterhalter for the beautiful reference photos and everyone’s amazing art!! I am now seriously hoping we get another Alps challenge this year soon 🤩

Which day do you think I did best?
