Win Art Supplies with International Artists' Day (CLOSED)

Hello everyone!  How is your week going, any nice wins to report?  Just one win for me since we last spoke of an icing bundle from Renshaw Baking on Twitter.  As I have mentioned before we don’t really do Halloween as a family, but the colours will no doubt be used for Christmas baking as there is a really nice Christmas-tree green amongst others!  How has your comping been gong lately, keeping up?  I don’t know about you but I have seen a huge increase in comps springing up over the last few weeks!  Not that I am complaining you understand, but I feel the need to be very organised with my comping – I guess it gets us all into the swing of heavy-duty comping before the rush of the advents doesn’t it!

I find that as well as the increase in comps during the autumn months TV programming really picks up on the march towards Christmas too!  As a family we have started to watch National Landscape Artist of the Year 2015 on Sky Arts – my eldest particularly enjoys watching the process of creating a detailed landscape painting from scratch every week.  We always say that we are going to start painting as a family, but haven’t managed to get round to buying the supplies as yett!

Did you know that it is International Artists’ Day on 25th October 2015 – what a perfect excuse to dust off those paint brushes and easels or start a new hobby!  In celebration Compers News wants to offer our lovely members the chance to win £50 of Hobby Craft vouchers for you to spend on whatever you like either in-store or inline.  You could be buying yourself some lovely new paints, sewing or knitting supplies or some craft kits to do with the children or grandchildren over the Christmas season!  To join in with this fantastic competition you need to be a registered Compers News member, logged into your account and leave me a comment on the blog below telling me who your favourite artist is.  For me I would probably have to say Turner – I am a sucker for a nice English landscape.  One entry per person please, your comments will be moderated and as such won’t appear immediately and a winner will be chosen at random from all entries after the closing date of 23:59 on 3rd   November 2015.

Happy comping and lots of Lucky Dust to you all!

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. A genius.

My favourite artist is Monet! Thanks

CLAUDE MONET is my favourite artist

I would say Claude Monet as love the colours of his work and the peace I feel when I look at them.

William Hogarth's work still fascinates me.

Paul Klee!

I love John Constable's rural English scenes - I have one on my wall, but it's only a copy! :)

Constable..so relaxing.

I have always loved John Constable, his landscapes are beautiful :)
Thanks for a super giveaway x

Constable first but now my granddaughter also is becoming a lovely artist

My favourite is Lowry, I think his paintings are really evocative of life at that time

has to be Van Gough

JOHN SINGER SARGENT

I loved Edward Munch's Girls on the Bridge that I bought a print which hangs right next to my favourite chair and look at it with pleasure nearly every day.

my favourite artist has to be Turner - i love landscapes but i also love Whistler because it reminds me of the Mr Bean movie lol

I find Salvador Dalí very interesting and his work is amazing. He looks at things in a different way, capturing imagination and the almost the unspoken thoughts of the weird and wonderful.

Hi this competition is now closed. A winner will be chosen, contacted and announced shortly x
