Do you like this video? Want to buy me a coffee or a new tube of paint… or just support the channel?
Now you can and I would really appreciate it. Once I reach my 1,000 goal I will be purchasing a second camera to shoot my mixing palette as that is the most frequently asked request. Cheers! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/steveatkinson

Art competitions are a great way to stand out in a world full of artists trying to get noticed. And while they're just one person's opinion, they can be a great way to measure your progress if you choose the right exhibitions. Which exhibitions are the right ones? Exhibitions judged by artists you respect. The results of an art competition or the paintings that win money can tell you a lot about what the judges are looking for and how close or far you are.
