Some Pro Painting Contest Tips

By Richard Roberts


The types of people who would call themselves painters varies as widely as the art itself. There are some who like to paint quietly at home, maybe with a glass of wine and some light music, and many people who do it primarily for the relaxing effect it has on them and the therapeutic effects on their body. Others enjoy finding a good painting contest to enter their work in.

For the artist who is only at the beginner level, it can be very hard not only to find a place where their art can be exhibited, but also to find a way to gain the courage to do so. Subjecting a beloved and personal piece of art to the opinion of strangers can be very daunting and intimidating. The judges of contests are great people to hear advice from that can actually help.

It is important to realize that in most contests, a huge number of entries are made. This makes it difficult for any given piece to stand out from the rest. A good way to approach these types of large competitions is by trying to select an art piece that would differentiate itself from the rest, and by trying to stay away from the most stereotypical images that many other artists may have in their paintings.

It is very important for an entrant to make sure he or she knows what kind of an art competition they are entering in. If there is a specific category of subject material or required materials, those are important details to know before choosing a piece to enter. Newer artists do best when they pick a competition that is in a style that they are familiar and comfortable with.

Looking of these types of contests online is the very best way for an artist to have a good chance of finding one that is perfect for their level of expertise, locality, and style. It is easy to find all the details on these events by looking them up. It is now easy to find out where these contests are happening and to get a piece sent in.

For those who are looking to win some money from their art entry, there is a wealth of opportunities with these kinds of contests. By checking a particular event's details either online or by calling the organization putting it on, it's easy to find out if there is any money involved for the winner. These types of competitions will usually require an entry fee.

Plenty of people are too nervous to subject their precious art to a competition because they are worried that something unexpected will happen to it somewhere along the way. This is especially a risk for pieces that are shipped long distances. Sometimes it is a good idea to look into how much it costs to insure the piece because that can take a lot of weight off the artist's mind.

While only the judges themselves truly know what they are looking for when they determine the winners of a competition, those who have won contests in the past can have some quite insightful knowledge. Many of these individuals have shared their secret with everyone online. It can also be very helpful to take a look at what they painted for those entries.
