Ii quick outdoor painting contest
The Estepona City Council announces the II Outdoor Fast Painting Contest
The artists must make a pictorial work of landscapes or corners of the city in a period of approximately four hours.
The Estepona City Council informs that next Saturday, May 21, the II Outdoor Fast Painting Contest will be held. The councilor assigned to the Historical Heritage area, Daniel García, has indicated that this contest will once again reward the best pictorial works inspired by the old part of the city.
As it happened in the first edition, the participants will be able to make their paintings from the artistic style that they consider in the enclave that they decide to represent. The uniqueness of the test will be that they must execute their work in approximately four hours.
Daniel García highlighted the level of last year's call and pointed out that the 34 works presented surprised the jury due to the level, creativity and speed with which they were produced.
The municipal official explained that, although the technique used will be free, the pictorial support must be rigid and have a size of 50 x 70 centimeters. The racks or supports on which they are going to work will be sealed by the organization on the same day of the contest, from 09:00 to 09:30 at the Casa de Las Tejerinas. Each participant may seal a maximum of two supports, but may only submit one work to the contest. They must be provided with everything you may need for the execution of the work.
At the time of sealing, the participant must submit a completed annex found in the contest rules, which can be consulted at www.estepona.es.
Once the contest has begun, the artists may present their works at any time from the start time at the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de Las Flores, with 2:00 p.m. being the deadline for submission.
The jury will be made up of people of recognized prestige in the artistic field. The jury's decision will be announced before 3:00 p.m. The winning work will receive 600 euros and there will be a prize of 300 euros for the second finalist work. Both award-winning creations will become part of the artistic collection of the Estepona City Council.
On the other hand, the Consistory will select several participating works to be exhibited in an exhibition that will take place from May 21 to June 4 at the Casa de Las Tejerinas.
The mayor of Historical Heritage, Daniel García, trusts that this year the participants will once again be inspired by the different corners, enclaves and unique spaces of the old town, which already has more than 140 streets remodeled and embellished through the municipal project 'Estepona , Garden of the Costa del Sol'.
Likewise, it has invited those interested in art to walk the streets of the center that day because they will have the opportunity to enjoy the entire creative process that a pictorial work entails. "I'm sure it will be a very enriching experience that will arouse even more curiosity about art and fast painting", concluded García.
