EXPLORE THE ART OF WINNING
Many professional artists say that, despite accolades and admiration, they still paint primarily for themselves. And it’s certainly true most painters first pick up a brush out of curiosity and a desire to explore their own creativity rather than dreams of fame and fortune. Gaining skills is simply a means to an end. But, eventually, all creative people want to send their work out into the world to be seen, hopefully appreciated and maybe even bought.
But putting your art out there takes a dose of bravery. Painters such as those in our winners special (pages 18-27), who have placed themselves in the line of fire on national TV, display the kind of tenacity and self-belief we can only admire. Which is why we’ve taken the time to ask them how and why they chose to face those challenges in our fascinating interviews.
