We had some fantastic submissions for our first Summer Art Competition and are pleased to announce the below winners:
Under 8 – Joint Winners
Rani who will be starting at ESMS later this month with this wonderful painting of daisies. Miss Littlejohn said “I love how the sun rays burst out from the corner onto the multicoloured daisies in Rani’s painting. She has used big bold brushstrokes that create lots of energy and joy in the painting.”
And Shobha who will be going into P2 later this month with this lovely picture, also of daisies. Miss Littlejohn said “This is a lovely bright and summery painting. Shobha has carefully drawn these beautiful flowers and I love her choice to use so many colours in the petals. Super work!”
Ages 9-13
This pleasing picture drawn and painted by Amelia who will be going into P5 in a few weeks. Miss Littlejohn said “This is such an atmospheric painting. I love the way Amelia has painted the sky and the contrast between the inky blue grey and the rusty landscape. There is a real sense of movement in the painting with the bold horizontal brushstrokes.”
Over 13 and Adults – Joint Winners
We have two adult winners who were clearly inspired by their children’s efforts:
ESMS Parent Ramona with this lovely picture. Miss Littlejohn said “This is a beautifully observed painting of irises. The handling of paint is excellent, the flowers are so delicate and sensitively done you could almost reach out and touch them. Well done Ramona!”
ESMS Parent Camille with this fantastic picture, painted in Saughton Park. Miss Littlejohn says “Lovely composition and I especially like Camille’s choice to use primary colours, the result is a glorious summery drawing. The cornflowers are instantly recognisable and the way Camille has used pastels is excellent.”
