We have had some lovely entries for this year's Charity Christmas painting competitions, and judging is now underway. Winners for both Leisure Painter and The Artist will be informed by November 11 at the latest.

The winning artists will see their work featured as our Christmas greetings to readers in the January issues of the magazines, which are published on December 4. Plus we will be donating £200 to the artists' charities of choice.

Make sure you order your copies to see the winning paintings, in the meantime follow these links to browse all of the entries in the Leisure Painter and The Artist categories.
