The versatility of acrylics has made them a pioneer of modern artistic expression. Having only emerged in the last century, their bright colours, immediacy and durability have encouraged works in all forms, from realism to expressionism and everything in between.
For our current competition we’re looking for all things acrylic! We want your paintings that embrace acrylics as a medium and show its incredible versatility. Please scroll down to see our beautiful prizes courtesy of Golden Acrylics!

Hi. Could you confirm that his competition only requires
photographs of our work? Would the original be required at
any point?
Many thanks
