i used to draw a lot in my younger days..and would like to know if i still am good at it..
I have just got my youngest off to school and my eldest into a special school for autistic children after 18 months of fighting – it is time for me to get back to some artwork, something which has been on hold for a number of years now. I need to get back in touch with my creative side and this would perfectly enable me to do so
I would like to give this to my eldest daughter as she is presently studying art GCSE and hopes to go on to study art at A level.
i would save it for my daughter for when shes a little older as she likes to paint n draw
My 11yo daughter is art crazy and would totally love to it if i won this prize for her. Her nan teaches disabled children to paint and this set would give my daughter a chance to join in.

Christmas is a period which has so many vibrant colours, which I would love to capture on canvas rather than just with a camera as this would hold more memories; making the canvas even more special

My daughter loves her arts and crafts…this would go down a treat as an extra christmas present…perfect!!!
Would love to win this! I can think of a number of people who would smile to see this on Christmas day!
My little boy got a painting easle for his birthday, so this would be a great treat for him.
I work in a special needs school and have been working with the students of one class to produce a large mural of St George and the Dragon. it would be lovely to give the class something to use and enjoy after all their hard work and input into this project…and obviously I would get enjoyment using it with them.
I need a new hobby
I can’t sew, draw or cook
Would love to try painting
Does it include an instruction book?
Painting was a saving grace for me back in 2009 when I had a bad split from my son’s father. I’ve always liked painting and drawing since I was a child but stopped because it was a bit expensive and we just couldn’t afford it. I started again in 2009 to escape the abuse of my relationship and have been painting again since then with two of my work subsequently being chosen and displayed at two separate exhibitions held by the RBSA in Birmingham. I would love to be able to win this because art is my life but as I said, it can be quite expensive and so at times I do not paint because I am unable to afford to do so.
i would love this so my daughter can enjoy doing some fab art at home aswell as at school.
I would love to win this prize to encourage my children to be more creative!

I would love to win this for my daughter who loves painting and art. She spends many hours in her bedroom drawing and painting and is starting to put her work on canvas.
