Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.
To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).
The featured colour this week is Yellow
Below is a screen capture of the random picker's selection: (with example shades of the colour)
The contest will run week to week, to provide enough time for entrants to colour in the pattern. It's Zen for a reason!
This week's contest will run as follows:
Friday 9th, 18:00 CET - 'Week Starts' post
Saturday 10th, 15:00 CET - 'Winners Showcase' post
Friday 16th, 15:00 CET - 'Week Ending' post

This week the stencil inspired by Time and Meditation. Meditation is so very beneficial to the inner balance of the soul and invokes positivity into your lifestyle. Time is just as sacred as meditation, the time of day you meditate can greatly benefit the effects. The morning is the best time of day for all things productive and motivational for the brain to focus on!
Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!
