Next Month Theme
Birds... Closing Date 15th April 2010 |
|
|
Every month Charles Evans Art will be giving away £100 worth of FREE art
materials!
Due to the high proportion of entries being from the same people
every month we have decided to make the competition bi-monthly.
All you have to do is paint a picture and submit your image via email to
charles@charlesevansart.com.
Brett and I will judge the entries and then award the prize, the winning
painting will be posted on the site. We will be judging the competition
on the 15th of every other month.
There have been quite a
number of comments that quite a lot of the same people seem to feature
on a monthly basis. All we can say is that we pick the best painting to
be first second and third. We will never bias the competition in any
way. It is purely on merit. Having said that in future all entrants must
be firstly none professional and secondly customers of Charles Evans Art
or Charles Evans School Of Art.
So good luck and we look forward to seeing your entries.
This competition is not open to professional artists. |

July 2009 Results

What a nightmare this month was to judge, such a huge variety of
different subjects and mediums. There were so many good
entries. I've sat here for the best part of an hour,
thinking to myself, its got to be related to British summer, and
its got to be good. Well they are all good and they all
relate to British summer. But I had to pick a winner and this
month it is Daniel Hood.
Next Months theme is Sport.

Because of the fairly wide title, we have had a great diversity
of subject matter. All of which qualify as industry. The winner
this month, congratulations to Dennis Smith for his remarkably
accurate portrayal of the farming industry.
Next Months theme is a monochrome painting of any subject you
choose.
There have been quite a number of
comments that quite a lot of the same people seem to feature on
a monthly basis. All we can say is that we pick the best
paintings to be first, second and third. We will never bias the
competition in any way. It is purely on merit. Having said that

January 2009 Results
: Winter Scene |
The
good news is the standards were incredibly high this month and
there were more entries than ever. The bad news is you made it
an absolute nightmare to chose the winners. I actually said to
Brett, "cant we award 20 or 30 prizes?". So especially well done
to this months winners. Its obviously got to be a heck of a lot
harder this coming month and with that in mind the topic is city
painting.

December 2008 Results

Firstly may
we apologise for the lateness of judging the competition this
month. Its the usually madness in the lead up to the
paint-a-long and general confusion at Evans HQ. As ever
the standard was extremely high but I think that these 3 fit the
brief most of all. Well done to one and all. The theme for next
months competition surprise surprise, a winter scene. Now this
doesn't have to be snow, but can be. Just a winter scene. Good
luck and Happy Christmas.

off somewhere warm. nDoesnt mean you have to go there but Id
like you to paint a Mediterranean scene

Well done to everyone this month, the
competition entries were exceptional. Its got to be said the
only regrets I have about launching this competition is just how
difficult it has been to judge them each month. We had always
intended to just give a first prize. But straight away those
hopes were dashing, so it looks like every month we will be
giving a 2nd and 3rd as well.

April 2008 Results :
Summer Scene |
The competition results are as follows....
First place and winner over £100 worth of art materials is Alan
Shaw. But it has to be said the standards was so high and with
differing styles that we decided we would give a second and
third prize as well. Each of these people were send an art of
oil book by Charles Evans. Well done to everyone who
entered the competition, a lot of thought and effort obviously
went into every entry so keep those entries coming for next
months competition and the theme is water.
Second place goes to Richard Dickinson and third place to John
Conner.
