Burnt Challenges are a call to artists of all skill levels to create an original piece of pyrography artwork based on a specific word, or what we like to call, a prompt! Check out Some past challenges here.
This challenge is an excellent way for wood burning artists to grow their portfolio, try new things, push their craft, meet other pyrographers, hone their skills, gain followers, sell art, and have a ton of fun while they are at it!
Having a restriction, like following a specific prompt, can really bring out creativity in people. These prompts are known to get people inspired and trying new things. Things they perhaps wouldn’t have tried otherwise.
The challenges are living in the wood burning community on Instagram. Follow us there or join Burn Club+ to get your prompts in advance for the next Burnt Challenge and to suggest your own prompts.
Spring Burnt Week 2023
We are so excited to be teaming up with our sponsor, Walnut Hollow, to bring you this #SpringBurntWeek challenge that runs from May 22nd to May 26th, 2023!!
The prompts were suggested by the Burn Club+ Community. We got a whole list of really funny and unique but very random nouns + adjectives. To make it even more fun and to keep artists thinking outside of the box, we pulled one noun and one adjective randomly out of a hat and put the two together!
OUR FEATURED ARTISTS
@ambers_afire created this stunning piece for the TINY PARTY prompt and we fell in love. It’s so whimsical and sweet. All of the little details, the mushroom clothing, the gradient background, are on point. Just zoom in on the ground! So much great dark texture. Beautifully done @ambers_afire! Everyone, please go give Amber a follow for more beautiful art in this unique style.
@blindlove.woodburning created this scene for the IMPERFECT PATH 🔥 Well done @blindlove.woodburning! The textures make that tree look so real along the iconic seattle skyline. Love that elephant butt and the tiny pops of color! Everyone, please go give Krista a follow for more beautiful art in this unique style.
@wild.earth.artwork is the winner for todays prompt: WILD SIGN. It’s just fabulous! The soft colors of this #flower background down to the details and shading in the flowers and the hand ✌️Great work by @wild.earth.artwork
