    • Collecting a donation from you
    • Getting affiliate revenue from associated products such as paints or related supplies

    To that end, we may send updates to you from time to time about new features, promotions or new content on the blog.

It is up to you to use an email address where you will see a notification that an image of yours will be showcased.
