Painting Art Competition Pro Tips

By Ryan Sullivan


There are so many things to love about creating a beautiful piece of artwork, and it is for that reason that there are many different types of people who paint as a hobby or even do it professionally. Some of the many great benefits about this craft is that it is known to reduce the amount of stress in a person's life, and it also improves things like handwriting and coordination by improving their fine motor skills. Whether just painting for the fun of it or trying to make a career out of it, entering into a painting art competition is something many people enjoy doing.

Those who are just starting out as painters might have a hard time finding the confidence to display their work, and it is hard to find a place to show it. These contests are perfect for people in that situation. Entrants know that they will get helpful advice from the judges.

The first thing to keep in mind when choosing a piece to enter is that judges have to look at numerous other pieces before they get to yours. This means that the piece has to stand out from the others. Anything that is individual and unique is a big advantage in a contest.

Most artists have a preferred style that they like to work in. For those types of painters, it is a good idea to look for contests that reflect their artistic interests. That way, the judges will be specifically looking for all the things that the painter does best.

It is hard to have access to very many contests when one is only looking at what is happening in their hometown. For those who don't live in big cities, these events can be hard to come by. There are plenty of networks online that help people find contests all around the world.

Some artists are just looking to have fun entering into a contest, and it doesn't matter to them if they win anything from the experience or not. Others who have been working as artists for longer and are looking to see some return from their labor might only be interested in contests that pay the winners. Looking up the details of a contest online is a great way to find this information.

There are all kinds of ways that paintings can be damaged in the process of being entered into these kinds of competitions. When artwork has to be sent in the mail, there is always the risk that it can be defaced in some way, as well as during the time that the piece is exhibited in the contest. That is why it is always a good idea to see how much money it would cost to get insurance for a piece, just to see if it might be worth it to put the artist's mind at ease.

The best people to get advice from for these types of events are those who have won them in the past. These individuals often have their contact information posted online, and it is usually not hard to get ahold of them. Many are happy to answer any questions a beginner might have, and their insight can provide a great advantage to anyone entering a piece of artwork.
