SUB UPDATES
Hey guys - I know we as mods have dropped the ball, and have (probably) lost someone very dear to our community. I do not have full permissions as a Mod so I cannot add or remove other Mods. i have requested Reddit make u/Welcome-ToTheJungle the head mod. I will update as reddit responds.
Sorry for the issues and I appreciate all your patience and willingness to continue this! I promise to get this solved so this sub can continue and thrive.
Thanks for your patience - HeyRespiratory.

Week 17: UPDATE please read below
Hi everyone, this has been in the works for a couple months now. As Pam (u/Inside_Can7542) said in her last challenge post, she’s been battling cancer. In early April she messaged me saying that she stopped treatment to live out her final months in peace. Unfortunately, she’s stopped posting here and hasn’t replied to my messages which leaves me to believe the worst has happened 💔 As I’m sure you’ve noticed, she’s the only mod who’s active on this sub. She wanted to make me a mod but doesn’t have that power and the owner never replies to her messages. So we decided to make a new sub for all you artists to move to! It’s r/weeklywatercolor !! Pam gave me all the prompts she’s made for the next few months :) The format will be exactly the same, I’ll post a prompt each Sunday. If anyone would like to help me run the sub who’s active and knows how to be a mod please let me know!
