Back in October 2020, David Bellamy teamed up with Search Press and readers of Leisure Painter offering the chance to win David's original watercolour painting of Burnham Overy Staithe (see right) which features in his book Seas and Shorelines in Watercolour.

Entrants were invited to name the titles of books in which three of David's painting appear, and the lucky winner is Avril Skinner. Many congratulations to her.

The three runners-up, who each receive a signed copy of David's latest book Landscapes Through the Seasons in Watercolour, are, Patrick Kube, Chris Buley and Beryl Wilson.

This year we are celebrating 40 years of David writing for Leisure Painter.

See the July issue (out on May 14) for great articles by David, plus the chance to enter a landscape painting competition to win one of three sets of his books from Search Press.

We also have an exclusive penguin painting demonstration by David coming up on PaintersOnline to celebrate World Penguin Day - look out for it later this month!
