Recently we run a competition for our online community of artists.

The brief was to paint an everyday still life, where the focus was not on the subject matter but the paint handling, the colour, the contrasts and the light. 

We were so pleased with the amount of entrants and it was definitely hard to choose a winner. We had artists from across the globe entering. Thank you so much to all of you who took part. 

Helen from Ireland was selected as our winner with her boldly painted still life painting.
