Fancy entering your work for an open art competition? Take a look at this month’s Leisure Painter for details of the ‘Simply the Best!’ competition. It is free to enter and selected works will be displayed at the Art Materials Live event at the NEC, Birmingham in November. There are great prizes sponsored by Hobbycraft too. Click here for more details and find entry forms in the May, June or July issues of Leisure Painter. Open Studio’s season is almost here! If you are holding an event add details to the Events Calendar here at Painters-Online to let everyone know what is happening in your area. If you have time a Blog about how things go would be great too! Listings of some of the Open Studio events will also be featured in the June issues of Leisure Painter and The Artist. We have some great new clips to watch in the Video section of the site. Click here to see a film about Jonathan Pointer, wildlife artist, who is the featured artist in ‘Today’s Artists’ by Robin Capon in the latest issue of Leisure Painter. There are also some great ‘how to’ clips by Wendy Jelbert and Hazel Soan. Don’t forget you can also upload your own film clips for others to watch!
