Some Tips For Painting Art Competition

By Ryan Sullivan


There are many benefits to creating artwork, and the artist does not have to be a professional to be able to reap these benefits. Anyone can experience the wonderful calming effect that gentle brushstrokes give to a person, and this type of artwork is also known to improve fine motor skills, meaning people end up more coordinated and often with improved handwriting. Whether a person is a casual artist because of these benefits or is more serious about it, a painting art competition is a great thing to be a part of.

Those who are just starting out as painters might have a hard time finding the confidence to display their work, and it is hard to find a place to show it. These contests are perfect for people in that situation. Entrants know that they will get helpful advice from the judges.

One of the cardinal mistakes that many artists make when entering into these competitions, especially those who have never done this sort of thing before, is to submit a piece that does not stand out from the rest. An applicant must keep in mind that the judges who decide which piece wins first prize are looking at hundreds or even thousands of other pieces. This is why the winning paintings have something that differentiates them from the sea of entries.

Most artists have a preferred style that they like to work in. For those types of painters, it is a good idea to look for contests that reflect their artistic interests. That way, the judges will be specifically looking for all the things that the painter does best.

It used to be much harder to find out the time and location of these types of events, and people were often limited to ones they heard about in their local area. Now it is easy to look up where contests are happening all over the world, and artwork can be delivered. These online networks open up a whole new realm of opportunity.

One of the things that can be learned by looking into a contest's details is if there is any money that is awarded to the winners. Some painters are specifically looking for these types of events where they can get paid for being chosen as the best. In order to pay for these cash prizes, these types of events often require an entry fee.

There is nothing worse than having a piece damaged while it is on display or being delivered to the contest. Many artists treasure their artwork, and no amount of money could ever replace it. However, it is nice when there is some monetary compensation involved when this type of thing happens, and that is why getting a piece insured is often a good idea.

The best people to get advice from for these types of events are those who have won them in the past. These individuals often have their contact information posted online, and it is usually not hard to get ahold of them. Many are happy to answer any questions a beginner might have, and their insight can provide a great advantage to anyone entering a piece of artwork.
