Whimsical Cityscapes in watercolour is this week’s design challenge by Spoonflower and Skillshare.

Read the press release below.

We were so inspired by our friend SammyK’s Skillshare class about creating motifs inspired by your city, that we knew we had to turn this theme over to our community! “Throw down for your home town” and create a watercolor design inspired by your locale.
