I’d like to win this prize to give to my son who has inherited my late mum’s artistic talent. He would definitely appreciate these materials and make good use of them and hopefully get a place at the prestigious University College Falmouth
We’ve had a tough few years and need to relearn how to relax. I’m quite happy reading or surfing the net, but my husband is usually very tired and just nods off on the settee. He used to be very fond of drawing/sketching/painting and this could be just the boost he needs to restart the hobby he enjoyed so much. Thank you.
Our young son is a very talented little chap who has clearly inherited the love of drawing and painting from his grandma and me, his dad. It would be an absolute dream to be able to afford to give him some good quality drawing and painting equipment and it would be very much appreciated and loved and would certainly reinforce our belief in his abilities, as we cannot praise his efforts enough.
My 13 year old son is an amazing artist and i would love to win this for him , moneys tight right now so this would be amazing for him x

Haven’t painted since leaving school and I really miss it – I want to get back into art desperately.
I am an amateur artist and the acrylics would come in especially handy for a seascape painting that I am working on at the moment.
Would love to learn to paint and this would help me on my way – thanks x
