I didn't place, but it was a wonderful experience, and I met a lot of great artists because of it. Thanks again for taking the time to write this article and inspire someone to take the next step!greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-67157198264149785102014-08-05T16:30:55.292-05:002014-08-05T16:30:55.292-05:00Wow!

I can see the merits in all you've discussed. <br /><br />Lastly, I guess in effect, I already DO enter painting competitions as the Flames of War tournaments I attend have Best Presentation as an award. So whilst not dedicated per se, I guess I'm there already. And participating, or competing - seeing as I put almost my all into my wee 15mm Brits. And winning as well, two out of three tournaments attended. <br /><br />Maybe I need to rethink my attitude toward all this over some more? :)Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-72287656260558344802014-07-11T18:20:58.022-05:002014-07-11T18:20:58.022-05:00Sweet!

That's one thing that the Crystal Brush has been criticized for in the past as well. This past year was a much better way of doing it I think.Miniature Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873606899838665652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-36384859403577268432014-07-11T18:19:33.937-05:002014-07-11T18:19:33.937-05:00Glad you liked it, Greg!

But once you dive in that first time, it becomes this itch to do better.

I'll be entering a bunch of my pieces in the Hold The Line convention this July. Online stuff is great, but nothing compares to seeing others works in person and chatting about the hows and whys :) It costs nothing to enter and I'm not really that hyped about winning, but more seeing and meeting other painters in my area and finding out if there are painting groups and putting names to faces, etc. Very excited.Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-16447410819244536952014-07-03T10:13:35.382-05:002014-07-03T10:13:35.382-05:00Great article Tim.

If there is one thing blogs have taught me, it is that there is tons of tips and info to be shared!
