Choose a Prompt to Recreate
We have teamed up with five artists who prepared spring-themed prompts in Rebelle for you to recreate in your style. Open any painting software and interpret at least one of the following prompts to get a chance to win creative prizes.
Ladybee by Antonella Fant
When Antonella thinks of spring, ideas always begin with flowers and a cute little girl. Her style reflects sweetness and gentle emotions inspired by her inner child. This little girl naturally came to life as a friend of bees. Antonella truly enjoyed capturing the softness of the characters through different brushes and textures, experimenting with various paper effects, and playing with pastel colors! We hope this inspires you as well.

Spring: Last Snow by Pluvium Grandis
Those who live in the mountain areas are quite familiar with this view. Even though the valleys are already green, the tops of the mountains still have some snow that is yet to melt. Pluvium describes it as perfect weather, it is not too cold to go outside, and the part of spring when the sun doesn't hurt yet. Draw a scene showing the remnants of snow from winter. Adding original characters in the scene is optional, but Pluvium included theirs.

Flowers & Fairies by Sky
When we asked about what inspired this illustration, Sky said: "The day I opened Rebelle to get familiar with it and use the brushes, I got a wave of nostalgia from books I used to read as a kid, in particular one about fairies. I knew I wanted to add things I love, but my main goal with this challenge is that people can add their own interests and create their own fairies or add their own favorite flower and insects to it!"

Renewal by Reg
Reg thinks of spring as a renewal, where the flowers bloom, and colors return after a cold, grey spell. She went with bright hues and a floral theme with that in mind. The subject just relishes a warmer breeze, cradling a small bouquet to capture the change.

Watercolor Ladybug by Thomas Chamberlain-Keen
An early sign of spring for Thomas is seeing ladybirds start to inexplicably find their way into his bedroom, long before it's warm enough to open the windows. Their carapace has such a gorgeous colour and shine, it feels like high-end automotive paint. This inspired Thomas that they needed to be washed in the same way. He grew up in Devon, where there are countless tales of the wild fairies and pixies that protect the natural landscape, so the idea was born.
