JANUARY CHALLENGE
In January 1931 Guy Menzies flew the first solo non-stop flight from Australia to New Zealand. Our challenge was to paint on the theme of, or inspired by, flight.
WINNER
Emma Price Floating World, pen and wash, 11½x8in (29.5x20cm). ‘I live on the north-east coast of England. One day there was a roaring high tide with a ferocious easterly gale whipping the sea into foam, and a big group of gulls and crows were just floating on the wind. Once home, I drew the scene with a fine liner pen, aided by some blurry photos and a lot of memory, and added a watercolour wash.’
To celebrate The Artist’s 90th anniversary year, throughout 2021 we set a series of monthly challenges, hosted on our website at inviting artists to submit images inspired
